You can train your brain to process your everyday experience differently.

Your ability to relax is dependent on your ability to feel discomfort.

[Awakened Self @Awakened_Self]

When you are more aware of the thoughts running through your mind you are better able to choose which ones to act upon and which one to let go of.
