During times of stress, uncertainty, or overwhelming life changes, it is easy for all of us to feel out of control.

When we feel out of control, we may experience overthinking, symptoms related to anxiety and depression, physical tension and discomfort in our body, difficultly relaxing, sleep problems, irritability, and feelings of helplessness and frustration. As well, we may do things we regret when we’re in a calmer state.

Here is a web of different things you can focus on when feeling out of control, by Mental Health Shopping 0926 and @ BlesstheMessy.

What helps you when you feel out of control?

Running, exercising, drinking water, deep breathing, and talking to people I trust are my go-to’s.

From my experience, being a dad is the most rewarding and challenging role a man will ever take on.

Managing stress and anger, balancing work and home life, being a positive role model, and taking care of ourselves can be extremely difficult and daunting at times.

Here are some strategies and guidelines, from an unknown/uncredited source, that can help us be there for our kids and lead them down the right path.

One important daily practice that’s not on this list is practicing self-care.

Men struggle with stress, regulating emotions, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and other mental health symptoms. Men are responsible for establishing and maintaining their own mental health so that they can be the strong and supportive husbands, fathers, friends, and workers they want to be.

Men, here are some things you can do to take care of your mental health:

-Take time off of work, if needed, to deal with your mental health
-Be aware of and accept your feelings
-Practice a good sleep routine
-Talk about your feelings, concerns, and things that are stressing you out
-Exercise regularly
-Connect with others
-Balance home, work, family, and other important parts of your life
-Make sure you have good nutrition to fuel your body
-Practice self-care. Do the things that help you feel good and bring you joy, relaxation, purpose, and meaning to your life

Seeing a counsellor, psychologist, or social worker can help you learn more about your mental health and how to deal with stress, burnout, depression, anger, relationship conflict, and other things that bother you.

Thank you to Catherine Kathe and for these reminders.

New Years Resolutions tend to not stick because they can be vague, ambiguous and involve rigid, all-or-nothing mindsets.

Instead, focusing on value-based personal goals and daily habits can lead to more positive life shifts. These could include doing something that has been put off, starting a new positive habit, or stopping a bad one.

This infographic, by Shayna Paige, shows some examples of positive steps you could take to start this year.

Happy New Year and best of luck with starting off 2026 strong!
