Effectively solve your problems.
from You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero
No matter how stressed you are, grounding yourself in the present will help you calm your mind, and you will find some peace and joy in that which simply is. Once you’re calm and resolved, you will be able to tackle your problem with a clear head, and you will be much more likely to find a solution.
Remember, the things you want in life already exist around you, but when your mind is stressed, it will not be able to notice these things. You have the means to achieve all your goals; all you need to do is keep a calm mind, and you will be able to solve even the most difficult problems.
