Oh you're always "right" to stress about life. Life is fucking hard, and full of problems, and if you aren't neck deep in problems in your life it's because you're unconscious.
But for that very same reason, you're always "right" to skip the stress and just get on with the next task. If you have a hard time doing that, I suggest drawing a map of the meaning in your life.
If you don't know how to do that, look for a class called "Maps of Meaning" and watch it. It's a free course, published on youtube. No homework or anything; just all the lectures videotaped and published on youtube.
That one course has done more to make my life functional than anything else I've encountered.
I'll give it a watch. Sourcing meaning from the right things has indeed been one of my missteps in the past. Music sometimes inspires visions in my head, and my brain saw them as memories, except in the future and they gave me meaning. The bubble burst when I waited for them to happen/tried to make them happen, and they didn't.
