text: help:sorting my thoughts out..? recently, i've been really stressed.. i've been having the hardest time trying to stop myself to actually focus on something.. it's like there are a lot of thoughts running through my mind and i don't even know where to start organizing them or where to start thinking about them. it sounds completely crazy.. anyone know how to stop this? or why this is happening? what you need to do is work backwards. firstly get a piece of paper and write down what your goals are. then look at your goals and write down what you need to do to reach them. focus on one task at a time and start acting each step to reach your goal. don't think it's too hard. the most successful people in the world have a daily to do list and know what they need to do. start and prepare yourself mentally for what action you need to take.   good luck we all go through this so don't get flustered just work at it like a jigsaw rather than not knowing where to start cause it can seem over whelming at times.
