Not letting go

You know how sometimes your fingernail will catch on something, then it bothers you, and you just keep messing with your fingernail. Sometimes you chew on it, sometimes you pick at it, but whatever you do, you don't forget it. Unless you are one to carry a nail file around with you it seems that you make the nail much worse than it has to be, and much worse than it would have been if you would have just left it alone.

Isn't that the way it is with life? We're going through our day and something snags. Maybe it's a phone call or a sharp word from someone, or an unexpected project or someone stands you up. Whatever it is, while we physically go on to the next thing our mind and heart are still picking and chewing at that snag. We are then robbed of the moment we are in and making a bigger deal of the previous situation than it deserves, usually making it worse.

What kind of "nail file" can you carry around with you to help you solve this problem?
