Shift Your Focus
Waypoint Message
When you're stressed, your brain often locks onto the negative. It looks for what’s going wrong and what could go worse. But you can train your focus like a flashlight: choose where to shine it. Shifting your focus doesn’t mean ignoring problems. It means giving energy to what helps you move forward. Focus on the positive things in your life and the things that bring you joy before trying to deal with a stressful situation. This reset will help you navigate challenges.
