Stress and how to deal

I try to find one aspect of the worry that I can assure myself I'll be able to handle in some way, then put on calm music to fall asleep. But it won't work until I convince myself I CAN handle one aspect of the issue...it can take even a couple hours 😔 Or in a few cases I'm able to postpone the worry and say I'll think about this stressful thought tomorrow.

I usually listen to music and try to do something that distracts me

Either I take a valeriana pill or just wait till the stressful event passes.
