Sometimes I commit it to God in prayer. I remind myself through verses like Philippians 4:6-7 to claim the peace of God which passes all understanding. This is usually helpful.
Admittedly there were times when I simply procrastinated and tried not to think about it nor to make any decisions regarding it. That is usually not helpful. It only makes the worry grow.

I often write things down that I’m worrying about or speak them out loud to someone I trust. This often helps me because it brings them into the light instead of the depths of my mind/heart- and because of this change, I can process it more, admit to it, and let go of it easier.

I worry about things too much. Even when my problems have been resolved I start to worry about the next circumstance before it fully develops into maturity. I would love to learn serenity: Lord, please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and the courage to change the things that I can. Grant me the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time enjoying one moment at a time and accepting hardship as a pathway to peace. Taking as Christ did, this simple world for what it is and not for what I wish it to be. Trusting that God will make all things right according to His will. That I may be reasonably happy in this life and internally happy with my God in the next life. Sometimes this old-time prayer helps me and other times I chant a peace prayer. The chanting of the peace prayer does help.
