You know you're overwhelmed, but guess what, that awareness doesn't change anything.

You keep saying " I know what I need to do, but, I'm just not doing it" on repeat and that leads you to more stress, shame, guilt, and pressure.

Let's be honest here, you aren't stuck because you're lazy, you are stuck because your old habits are keeping you overwhelmed.

You trying to fix the overwhelm, the over stimulation, the chronic stress and shame is leading to more more pressure and that is backfiring on you!

You don't need more motivation. You need a different approach.

Tell me below what small changes you are making in your life today.

How many times have you said, "I'll be happy when I..."? Honestly, more times that I can count. But why not be happy now?

This came to me recently, and I caught myself saying it one day, "Why can't i just be happy!!" Then I got home, looked at my house and realized this is what I prayed, begged, and cried for. I have it now! Why am I not happy with it!

Being happy for what we have right now is not a bad thing. We get to be happy for what we have. I shouldn't have to worry about what anyone else thinks of me and my life. If I am happy, I should be able to show it and share it.

If someone else has feelings about how much i love my life and how happy I am, if it makes them feel anything other than happy for me, then they aren't my people and I don't need to expend any energy on them.

My life = my happiness. You don't have to like it for me to love it.

You show to everything you're supposed, you complete the tasks you know you HAVE to do each day, reply to the emails, the texts and return phone calls, but something just doesn't feel "right".

You're frustrated because you just can't seem to be a self starter anymore, every thing you once loved feels "meh" or "blah" and you don't love the things you once did. Is it BurnOut? Possibly, but also, you're stuck.

You're stuck in a functional freeze where you're showing up and doing the thing, but its the "Extras" the "wants" you have that never seem to get started.

You aren't being lazy. Just frozen in this fake rest. Here's what we talk about doing to get out of it:

1. Make your world smaller- focus on one task at a time. What can I do in the next 10 minutes.

2. Regulate before you motivate- Go outside for a few minutes, turn off the phone and TV and sit with just your self.

3. Lower the bar. A LOT!- if your 45 minute workout feels too much, then just do one set per exercise at a high output. It'll help jumpstart something!

4.Reduce your input altogether- PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN! literally, set a timer for your scrolling and put the phone down when it goes off. Or find a lock box for your phone on Amazon where it auto-unlocks after the selected timeframe.

5. Be HONEST with yourself- You are NOT lazy- just mentally overwhelmed and overloaded. Give grace, but not so much that it becomes a crutch. Then some tough love and get moving!

Burnout, overwhelm, shame, and guilt hit us all at one point in time when we feel stuck in a rut. But, these feelings are temporary and we can move them however necessary to make ourselves feel better.

Self-care is not a once in a while thing to do when you're feeling a type of way. It is a necessity to remind yourself of your own inherent worth and deservingness.

It doesn't have to be expensive days at the salon or spa. It can truly be as simple as the ideas listed below:

• • Brain dump journaling – write down EVERYTHING that is on your mind.
  • Delete or mute draining social media accounts.
  • Take a 24-hour news detox.
  • Reorganize one small space
  • Write a letter you never send to someone you’re holding resentment toward.
  • Let yourself cry without trying to fix it.

• Revisit a childhood hobby (coloring, puzzles, crafts)

  Celebrate a small win — something you usually dismiss.

• Sit with a cup of coffee or tea for 15 minutes without your phone

• Say “no” to one thing you don’t actually want to do.

• Leave a conversation that drains you

• Stop over-explaining yourself.

• Sit outside and get sunlight for 10 minutes.

• Take a slow walk with no destination.

• Listen to music with headphones and close your eyes.

• Do a body scan meditation.

• Review your finances and make a plan.

• Apply for a job that scares you a little.

• Start a creative project.

• Declutter 10 items from your house.

• Pray or meditate

• Write a gratitude list for the day

• Spend time in nature without headphones.

  
  

  Taking care of yourself is often misconstrued as time intensive, expensive and a luxury. You can absolutely make it a luxury for yourself, but it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg or your own sanity and peace of mind.

Have you ever felt the "what if I had done..." and realized that you let FEAR get in your way?

Have you ever wanted to tell someone "NO" but you let the fear of losing them keep you from putting yourself first?

Have you ever wanted something SO BAD, but you've never done it before and its outside your comfort zone so you just ler it go without even trying?

It's time that we left fear at the door and started making choices outside of our comfort zone. Only then will our comfort zone grow and we can continue stepping outside and finally live the life we have always dreamed of.

Playing small hasn't gotten me anywhere. The only time I know I have felt myself actually grow mentally and emotionally is when I stood up and did something that I originally felt I had no place doing.

Taking up space doesn't mean being loud, irrational, pushy, arrogant or anything like that. Its being intentional with your time, words, feelings, and actions. It ACTUALLY getting into the room and being heard. It is speaking up when you aren't being taken seriously. It is getting away from being a wallflower in life and taking main character energy back.

Quit playing small to make anyone else happy. Do the things that YOU actually want to do. Take up the space you deserve to have.

You belong in any room you want to be in.

When we start to realize the things that we want and the things we will no longer tolerate, people start to feel a certain way about you. They start to change how they react to you. And honestly, that's ok!

The hardest part of becoming your best self is learning what you will no longer tolerate and what things are non-negotiable in your life.

Boundaries are necessary for your mental and physical health. And having them isn't a bad thing at all! Every adult needs boundaries and they can be WHATEVER your heart desires.

Start with one today and see how it feels!

The annoying part of being human is the knowledge that we truly aren't invincible and that SOMETHING is going to take us down for a bit.

This week I get into the feelings of burnt out and overwhelm and not knowing how to get out of it. And while I may be ticked off that I just cant get myself to do the things that were once an easy habit, I KNOW, without a doubt that I'm going to make it through this and come out on top.

This moment isn't about giving up or giving in and taking a "loss". Its about growing, asking for help, and learning to give myself a few extra moments of love and grace and compassion. Then, coming back stronger and better than I was two weeks ago.

Burn out can teach us a lot. But mostly, it teaches us how to regroup, love ourselves more, and give ourselves more compassion in the face of uncertainty.

Whew!! 2026 is going to be a whirlwind. In thinking about what I need to do to become better in this year and make it different than last year, I came to the conclusion that I need to drop certain things I did in 2025 and adopt new traits. Im growing in who I am to make sure I hit all my goals and then some in this new year.

When it comes to the new nutrition guidelines, 1.2g/kg of bodyweight is equal to .54g/lbs of bodyweight. So if you weigh 150 lbs, generally you should be getting about 81g of protein a day. If you are more active, you'll definitely need more. And I can help you with that!

In order for expansion and other growth, we have to adopt comfort with discomfort. We have to drop all insecurity and imposter syndromes and move forward with confidence and compassion to ourselves!

Keep your own standards high and keep reaching every day!

2025 was a WILD year! So many wonderful and amazing memories were made and I have the pictures to prove it! However, I didn't LEAVE 2025 in a place where I felt amazing and wonderful. I left 2025 behind feeling a little sad, a little disappointed and working on shadows I found hidden in the depths.

But those shadows bring 2026 to LIGHT!

In 2026, WE will be CELEBRATING ourselves, celebrating our wins and achievements even if its sitting alone basking in the reflection of our hard work.

2026 is the year of EXPANSIVE EVOLUTION! Growth in all the best ways possible. Expanding our capacity to hold our own, hold abundance, and growing our reach!

Whats your word or phrase this year!?
