Take a sauna on it
Sauna is an amazing thing: you may go in there worked up about something or worried, and come out calm and — more importantly — in your right mind again.
For instance, yesterday I was feeling furious at my bank because they paid an instalment of my apartment two months early. I thought, of course, that I’m losing money in interests because I’m starting to pay them now instead of two months later.
Then I went to the sauna (today).
Now I’m thinking, what difference does it actually make if I’m paying for this particular instalment + its interest for x number of months starting now instead of x number of months starting a bit later. I’m still feeling a hint of uncertainty, but logically thinking it doesn’t make much of a difference (the interest rate does change annually but it affects the situation only marginally).
This “enlightenment” has happened so many times that I sometimes feel stupid when I realise I’ve been worrying about something for no reason.
Not bad enough that I think about little else, but now you taunt me from afar!

You’re a different kettle of fish than I am. I go into the sauna and don’t get relaxed. I get all tense. I start feeling sweaty and thinking about how long I’m supposed to just sit there and do nothing. I am totally unable to sit and do nothing – hence the failed spa day I had where I refused any more nothingness (and the massage).
I’m not a marathon sauna goer. I usually sit there for about 5 minutes or until I’m thawed (in winter). But it has an amazing ability — like shower — to clear your head.
That’s a good idea, though. Saunas in schools
Writing term papers could be a breeze. Too bad sauna has no effect on my writing ability.
lol, what a good feeling, perhaps it was caused by the sauna? – taking the worries away or giving you some special brain opener :S lol, that’s always nice.
