Focusing on myself

Currently recruiting SA2026. On this forum and elsewhere, I've constantly been seeing other people getting interview invites, offers, etc. for places where I have put in a lot of effort, and it's making me feel really insecure. I know there's not much that I can do other than continuing to grind (which I am), but does anyone have any tips on staying calm through the process? I just keep oscillating between moods, and I still haven't gotten back to school yet, so I don't even have anything to distract me.
