If, like me you are in a temporary state of feeling hopeless, why not just take a few moments to just breathe and  answer these questionss which I found very useful to help me focus.
I read it from this blog https://goo.gl/j3HPTk

When you’re feeling hopeless, ask yourself:

1. “How important is this to my life overall? Does it really make everything else worthless?”

2. “What can I control?”

3. “What makes me feel worse? Should I do something other than play the same game on my phone because it’s taking me down a dark road?”

4. “Who am I blaming for this situation? Does it help or am I avoiding a truth?”

5. “What stories am I telling myself?” Say them out loud or write them on paper. Hunt for the hyperbole in your thoughts and cross it out. It’s likely not that bad.

6. “Have I looked for opportunity? How could I do that?” (Here’s one way to spot opportunity.)

7. “What could I do that would make me feel steadier?” (A few ideas: jogging, baking, getting a haircut.)

When you’re feeling hopeless, try some of these things

• Make a list of interesting things you haven’t tried yet. Maybe you want to try one now.
• Have a good cry. It will release toxins and elevate mood, among other things.
• Indulge in your go-to comfort activity (reading, a favorite movie, jigsaw puzzles) and focus on the now.
• Don’t try to fix what’s making you hopeless right away.
• Find some inspiration in the world. Artwork. The horizon. Store windows. (This primer on inspiration might help.)
• Try not to fully isolate yourself. Being in the company of others can remind you that all is not lost.
• . Get up and move. Physical activity releases endorphins that make us feel better.
