In reply to the discussion: So, What Happens When A Large Appliance You Ordered Online [View all]MineralMan
(151,445 posts)56. Thanks. When life gets complicated, think harder.
That's my rule. That's the only way to get through it and come out on the other side better than you started.
We all have stressful times. When that happens, it's really important to slow down and think about what you need to do and what you need to avoid. It's easy to act based on emotions before thinking about what will be the best course of action.
Where to start when there are so many things that need to be done? Prioritizing in terms of importance and timing can help you get through stress better than just seeing all the things that need doing and becoming too paralyzed by complexity to do anything.
I learned that from my late father, who always paused before acting to think how best to approach a situation. Thanks, Dad!
