from The StrongHer Chronicles · host Monica W

Oh, My, Gosh- Im so overwhelmed, I know I should be doing XYZ, but, I'm stuck on the couch doom scrolling. Sound familiar? The more we mentally and verbally punish ourselves for our quick fixes not working, not getting ourselves moving, not getting our list done, the more we shutdown, then the more we feel guilt and shame because WE KNOW BETTER.Instead, let's break this cycle in 5 easy steps.1 Catch it Early- notice the beginning stages and feelings of overwhelm2 Shrink the focus - bring your list of 10 things that need to get done and only focus on one for a manageable block of time3 Replace the guilt with data - what was the final thing that made me feel overwhelmed, aka - the straw that broke the camels back4 Built softer consistency - complete small repeatable actions that build consistency rather than one day of dramatic resets5 STOP trying to earn rest - Allow yourself time to relax, celebrate, ground, and be happy. Take the small rests now instead of a complete burnout rest that gets us back to the same "stuck" place.If you are looking for a group of like minded women who are ready to reconnect with themselves and step into the version they know they are meant to be, our Facebook Community is for you.DM me STRONGHER on IG for the link!Instagram- ⁠⁠⁠@the_strongher_chronicles⁠⁠⁠Want to check out the journal for digging deeper in 30 days?
