Be Inspired..!!

Is it Thursday… or is my brain on fire?

Ever feel a little overwhelmed? Or like, really overwhelmed, the kind where even small things start to feel loud and everything on your to-do list suddenly looks personal. I’ll be doing something normal, like answering an email or making coffee, and out of nowhere my chest feels tight and my thoughts start racing like I forgot something important even when I didn’t. It’s not always a full meltdown, sometimes it’s just this low-level buzz of stress that follows me around all day.

What gets me is how sneaky it is. I’ll tell myself I’m fine because nothing is technically “wrong,” but my body knows better. It shows up when I’m tired for no reason, when I’m annoyed at things that usually don’t bother me, when I scroll endlessly because thinking feels like too much work. I’ve noticed I overwhelm myself by trying to do everything at once, holding too many thoughts, caring about too many things without giving myself a break.

Some days the fix isn’t productivity or pushing through, it’s slowing down on purpose, even if that just means taking one deep breath or doing one small thing all the way through instead of ten things halfway. Overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re failing, it usually just means you’ve been strong for too long.

So tell me—what’s overwhelming you right now, big or small?
