I have to sometimes let it go for a moment, if it seems insurmountable and then come back to it later. I take a deep breath and allow God to give me peace and then ask Him what I should do. I need His peace to make sound decisions and deal with the pain so I keep things in perspective. I cannot allow pain to speak louder than the love He has for me

And His peace that’s bigger than my pain

I’ve always said that if there’s something I don’t like (something that bugs me), then do something about it. If I can’t do anything about it, then I won’t worry about it. Of course, that is “easier said than done”, so, as you said, “count your blessings”, but also pray about your “bug”. What bugs you likely bugs others, so there are possibly solutions to be found.

I wouldn’t keep a list of all that bugs me, because I don’t want to be reminded of all those things.

To take my focus off whatever is bugging me I usually go look out the window and watch the birds in my backyard. Rather simplistic, but it takes my mind to something I love.
