Perspective

When you're feeling overwhelmed by life, it helps to take a step back and look, really look, at what is going on. Perhaps you need to get away for a day or two, in order to get perspective. If you don't have that luxury, you can also spend an hour or two in solitude. Sometimes writing it all down can help. Whatever helps you get a handle on the thoughts you are having!
That is because it is your thoughts that are the crux of the problem. No matter what is going on, it is your thoughts about it that make or break your ability to handle it. Thoughts generate feelings. Sometimes it seems like it's the other way around, but the key to breaking that cycle is to focus on your thoughts. When you get your thoughts in alignment with your desires and goals in any given situation, then the feelings will follow.
