Finite problems - like first world problems but for everything

There is a slightly weird hack I use when I suspect I may be about to start stressing about a problem I have. I can't recall seeing like this online, and it might be helpful to people other than me.

When confronted with a problem I'm stressed about, I think, "Finite problems, bitch! Oo la la" 

Technically I sing this in my head.

What it means is something like this. 

1. The problem is finite in the sense that it is not existential. This means that if I failed to solve it I would still be alive. Most probably I would also still be housed, clothed, fed etc.  And if not, where there's life there's hope (this is something I believe very strongly and may or may not be an important building block). So no biggie. The point is to keep the right perspective on what a biggie is.

2. If I really really needed to solve the problem I could just throw an unreasonable amount of resources at it. For example (this is partway between 1 and 2) I could change my name, move to another country and pretend I've never heard of the problem. This would involve an incredibly large amount of suckiness. But a finite amount. 

Or maybe I could pay someone all my money to solve the problem for me.

Right. So we have established that a) we can deal with not solving the problem, and b) we can solve the problem in principle.

Now we have to deal with a different and psychologically much easier problem, which is the question of how to solve the initial problem with minimum  time and resources, given that we know the problem is solvable.

The advantage of the mantra "Finite problems, bitch! Oo la la" is that it encapsulates this entire argument, and is fun to say.

If this resonated with you, good luck finding a phrase of your own! (Feel free to use mine. For proper melody it may be necessary to add something like tah-di-da-da-duh-di-dah after.)
