SZA shared a text message from her mother, who offered her some sound advice on dealing with stress. In the text, her mom wrote, “Remember, you can even eat an elephant one bit at a time. To help change feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, jot down all the stuff that’s making you crazy, then write beside it what must be done NOW, what can be done LATER, and what would be nice to do if you could but is OPTIONAL. Focus only on the NOW. Don’t worry about the other stuff right now,”
- The message added, “Next you prioritize the remaining shorter list for you to do yourself. You’ve now made more space in your life for the things you love and want to do.”
