It is difficult for many people to control their thoughts and emotions, and this inadvertently affects our mental and physical health. We tend to worry too much about things that do not matter, and this only leaves us feeling anxious and stressed. I am sure you may have found yourself in similar situations before. You may have worried about a presentation you have to give the following day or about speaking to your boss about a hike in pay. These events can scare you, but they do not have to stress you out.
