“there are times when i feel overwhelmed, but when i do, i take a bath, i speak to friends, i go for a run, i listen to music, i read. sometimes i’ll just get a big piece of paper and write everything out — whatever is bugging me. when it’s all written out on a big piece of paper and you can see it, it feels more manageable. then i’ll go through it all. the biggest problem gets a one — whatever is worrying me most — and the second get a two. i go down the list, and i’ll deal with each one — at least, with the one that are within my power. with the ones that are not, i take a deep breath and try to let it go.”
