12 reminders if you are feeling overwhelmed right now.


Hello Reader,

Feeling overwhelmed by life is almost unavoidable when it feels like the world is a little shaky. Or a lot shaky depending where you live and what you may be experiencing.

And, the day-to-day “normal” things can get to you too.

  • Phone notifications
  • Work obligations
  • Fear of uncertainty
  • Family needs
  • To-do lists
  • Email overload
  • Expectations
  • Breaking news
  • Illness
  • Invitations

And the list goes on for the things that overwhelm our time and thoughts.

Use these 12 reminders for a little relief if you are feeling overwhelmed.

xo,

Courtney
