Aggravating people who want to tell you what is not ok to care deeply about are aggravating, gah!!!
That said, I think for ourselves it can be helpful to step back and say, "it's not the end of the world". With some things we can't - I can't with spiders.
But e.g. with my upcoming trip, I can work myself into a frenzy about remembering everything, and at some point it's helpful to tell myself, "Do you have your tickets, passport, money? Fine, then you can buy everything else you need!" :o)
