I want to tackle a common misconception: overwhelm as a sign of weakness.
Many of us, myself included, have internalized this belief at some point. We've questioned ourselves, wondering why we can't seem to get it all done.
But here's the truth: overwhelm is a natural response to the demands we face daily. It doesn't reflect our strength or weakness; rather, it mirrors the intensity of external pressures—from societal expectations to digital connectivity.
Think about it: experiencing overwhelm often means you're deeply engaged and committed to your responsibilities. It shows you care about your work, relationships, or personal goals. So why do we treat ourselves harshly for feeling overwhelmed?
Today, I encourage you to replace self-criticism with kindness. Would you say the same harsh words to your loved ones? Probably not. Start by being kind to yourself. Recognize that overwhelm is a signal to reassess and recalibrate—not a mark of inadequacy.
