Every time other then that time I would stop myself and deliberately say save it for worry time. During my worry time, I got the things out of the box and worried about them. Some lucky times, a solution would come to me. It has helped a lot.

Mindfulness practice and the Calm app with the Daily Calm meditation have also really helped. Best wishes.
This sounds like such a wonderful suggestion because it turns it into a habitual practice of setting aside that time to worry about things that, while they may seem trivial, are unreasonably persistent.

I've been wanting to check out a mindfulness app lately. I should just take the plunge and go for it.
Thanks for this!
