Back to Zero Weekly: Focus Your Energy
Sep 15, 2025
Welcome to Back to Zero Weekly: Big Emotions, Simple Strategies
Each week, get one quick, actionable strategy to help you manage emotions, build self-awareness, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, creating greater space for joy
Focus Your Energy
When life feels overwhelming, it’s often because we're focused on things we can’t control. Refocusing on what is within your power such as your response and attitude can help shift your energy from helplessness to strength.
Strategy for the Week: When feeling stressed, make a quick list:
Column 1 = What’s in my control.
Column 2 = What’s not in my control.
Pour your energy only into Column 1. Your peace lives there.
Love, Dr. Joy
