Hi, I thought you may like this Mentalrobics exercise from Braingle.com:
-----------------
Rewind and Fast-forward

When you are under stress [ For more on 'stress' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/534.html ] try this short exercise to put things in perspective. It might make your problem seem less stressful.

Mentally rewind your life ten years and remember what you were like at that time. Try to imagine how your current problem would have seemed back then. Would it have been as important? Now fast-forward ten years into the future and imagine how your life might be like. How important is your current problem to your future self? Chances are your current problem may seem insignificant to your future self and this might change your perspective on how you view your problem today.
