Quote: My point? By dwelling on the 'unfinished' I was stressing myself out unnecessarily. By deciding to put it aside for a while, I made my environment more pleasant, and myself happier. In all likelihood, I would have finished the vexing puzzle over the Xmas break, but in the end, my brother is now enjoying the chase to finish.
Oh Slowly, what a wonderful point and stuff to chew on! I like the idea of putting an issue aside for a while, choosing to focus on something else, and seeing what happens. It is usually true that I dwell or fuss on an issue that either I have little or no control over, and that my meddling will not help solve. It is also true that when I am relaxed, happy even, that solutions to things I've set aside seem to pop up out of 'nowhere'. In other words, when I am able to open my perspective from a restricted view on a problem/issue, I am more able to 'receive' advice/wisdom/answers from within or around me.
Thanks for posting your story - it gave me insight into my own question of what it would look like on a day to day level...
