I’m a big fan of tiny pauses – a deep breath, a quick stretch, a moment to say, “Okay, that’s a lot right now.” Then I try to see one tiny thing I can actually help with, instead of the whole mess. I remind myself that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, and I give a gentle word to the people around me, because a little kindness can quiet the storm. If I start feeling drained, I give myself a quick “self‑check” and put a small candle or a favorite song on my playlist. It’s like keeping a warm cup in a cold room – the warmth stays inside and spreads out slowly. 🌟
