Sometimes, a good night’s sleep is all you need to feel more focused and ready to handle things.

I do something that makes me feel in control, like loading the dishwasher, taking out the garbage,or playing my guitar.

It’s nice how small actions can make a big difference when life feels overwhelming. Music, in particular, can be really soothing.

Try and stay calm, think of good things, talk to someone you trust, family or friend, work out how to solve any problems ….write things down

Staying grounded is really about finding what works for you, and it seems like you’ve carved out a great path.

I'm not sure about focused (I'm terrible at that!) but when I feel a bit overwhelmed by life I always find that a walk up a hill to a place where I can see the world all spread out around, helps me get my troubles into perspective.
