Advice for erev Pesach pressure.

Answer:

Drop all those "chumros" (halachic stringencies) like wildfire! (But speak to your rabbi first). To fulfill the "letter of the law" is actually very light and easy. The pressure and nervousness and negative feelings often come as a result of getting involved in chumros and stringencies that were never meant for you. Just because a certain "recipe" worked for a previous generation in the service of Hashem, does not mean that that particular way is for you. How many of us are lacking in a basic positive relationship with Hashem, which comes way before anything else!
