Stop Overthinking: 23 Techniques to Relieve Stress, Stop Negative Spirals, Declutter Your Mind, and Focus on the Present (The Path to Calm Book 1)

by Nick Trenton

All you need to remember is four techniques: avoid, alter, accept, and adapt.

If you can’t avoid a stressor, ask what you can do to change it.

When you forgive, you are releasing yourself from the stress and energy of resenting and blaming the other person.

Acceptance doesn’t mean we agree with what happened or that we like it and shouldn’t try to change it. It only means we gracefully come to terms with what we can’t realistically change, so we can focus on what we can.

Adapting to stress means we change ourselves to better cope with life.
