I believe all mental distress is caused by harmful things in our life. There is a simple process to fixing the problem.

1. Identify the harm.
2. Remove it from your life, or if that's not possible, minimize it as much as is practically possible.

Identifying the harm is crucially important. If you don't identify the harm then you are hopeless to remove its effects. The harm can literally be any "thing."

Removing it is important too, but sometimes impossible. Still, you should at least give yourself a mental vacation, so that you can have one moment, even if it's in a fantasy visualization, without this harmful thing.

So start right now. Identify a harmful thing. Then imagine your life without it.
