The paperback book "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" "and it's all small stuff"...really helped me (in spurts) ten or so years ago. I like that the book is written in such a way that only a page or two equalled a chapter at a time. There's small pieces of information on each page, so the reader won't be overwhelmed. At first I'd read one or two "ideas", and give everything thought. The idea "not sweating the small stuff" really began to take shape. How small is small? The book is very well written and it basically motivates the reader to "let go" and live a happier life. Prior to reading this book I wasn't aware as to how often "petty" problems plagued me. I've changed! If a particular "challenge" bothers me today, I first think about how long this problem will endure. 5 years? 5 months? 5 weeks? 5 hours. 5 minutes, etc...I stop caring quickly about any problem that won't last at least a year. Life has no dress rehearsals. A "tidbit" I use often came after reading this book. I picture myself on my "death-bed". The only focus is on how many REGRETS do I have? One or two, I can tolerate - but my daily mission is to effectively eliminate as many regrets as I can. We only live once....there's no time for the small stuff, let alone many of the much larger "stuff". The short, inspirational pieces of writing in this book will undoubtedly "wake" up the "non-complainer" in you,.
