Scale that Problem Down

Why do we let problems overwhelm us?

Sometimes our emotions pump up a problem until it's so large that it looms over us like a mask of doom. Let's drop that. Let's stop that. Let's keep things in perspective.

Any problem that we can detach our feelings from gets instantly smaller.

Isn't that a good thing?
