If you have troubles on your mind, or are having to wait a long time for the settlement of some outcome, the best thing that you can do is to keep busy. Do those things around the house that you have been putting off for a long time. Get out to the gym, go for a walk or a jog. We can't control everything in our lives, but for the things we can do, focus on that, and be amazed how it can alleviate some of your stress, and make time pass much faster.
