all my methods are based in the highly cliche' sayings we all know, but tend to sort of blow off because they are indeed so time worn and cliche'. all I can say is they work for me....somewhat.
bottom line:
grant me the will to change what I can change
the ability to accept what I cant change
and the wisdom to know the difference.
when things like the messy drawer start to get to me I say to myself 'is it gonna kill anyone or cost me money?'
inevitably the answer is usually 'no'..and that seems to take the edge off of it. it also tends to make me not deal with it, so its sort of a double edged sword.
in addition, I also have the luxury of living alone, so whatever doesnt get done, doesnt get blamed on anyone but me...in which case its usually handled by adopting the basic "eff it, I dont honestly care" mentality.
probably helped not at all...but, it really is what I do
