Slight stress

Is it ironic or just a coincidence that when you're told not to stress, that in return you become more stressed out because your focus is now set on what you shouldn't be focused on, and therefore, you stress about it?

You follow?

I can't seem to relax. I love the summer but my God... The shit that travels through one's idle mind can be, well, stressful. It seems like so much has to get done and I'm running out of time. And money. And desire. 

I need to finish my book. Unfortunately, writing it saddens me which then -you guessed it- stresses me out! If only I could breeze through the sad chapters & hop straight to the part where the sun peeks out from behind the storm cloud. Mmm, that would be lovely. 

But such is life. We can't fast forward to the good parts and bypass the bad. That's one of the reasons why I'd choose the blue pill from the below options. What pill would you choose? How do you unclutter your life from stress?
