Try this at home

How's this for a stress reducer?

When you become aware of an unpleasant emotion or tension creeping into your body or mind, ask yourself these three questions:

1. Could I let it go? (ie. am I capable of letting it go?)
2. Would I let it go?
3. When?

It's had a remarkable impact on my stress levels in only two days of doing it.

What does it mean if you can't? Even if whatever it is doesn't matter? Stubborn?

Well, it means you're honest to begin with. Allow yourself to say no, and ask again later. SEe if you can say 'yes' and 'now' to small things. It might get easier.
Oh, and ask yourself why you can't let it go?
