Why we spiral: maybe you’re not the problem.
from The Messy Midlife Toolkit Hosted by Dr Janine van Someren and Vivienne Berryman
Ever found yourself snapping at someone you love, lying awake overthinking, doom scrolling, or feeling completely overwhelmed by something that normally wouldn’t bother you? When we’re carrying too much for too long, it can be easy to assume that we’re the problem. In this episode of The Messy Midlife Toolkit, we talk about what happens when life leaves us at capacity - and why trying to make big decisions from that place can make everything feel even harder. We share our own experiences of busy lives and competing demands, introduce our snow globe analogy for understanding overwhelm, and ask a rather different question: Instead of “Why can’t I cope anymore?” what if you asked “What am I carrying?” And we add another simple tool to your Messy Midlife Toolkit: The Permission Slip. Remember, maybe you don't need an answer just yet. You might just need to let the snow settle first.
