When you're at work, concentrate on your job, then rest and recuperate with flying (and vicky vercky). Make sure that your planning and time management skills are up-to-date: that should relieve you of some pressure. Try not to enjoy one part of your life at the expense of the other.
Flying is difficult because it's new and it's VERY early days for you. Crawl before you walk before you run. Savour your studies: you will need them. It's all part of mastering a new environment. Don't treat studying - particularly air law - as a chore. Get to grips with it and sail through.
As with any new discipline, take one step at a time, question, listen, question again. Get feedback. It's natural to have periods of self-doubt. Focus on what you have achieved, not on what you haven't.
If it's what you want, you'll get there. But it's not to be rushed.
