When you're in overwhelm it's easy for the brain to go into overwhelm.
This week as I was experiencing my own overwhelm my mind wanted to say, "This bad day is going to last forever." It also wants to ask, "WHY is this happening TO me?!"

Once you know and understand how your brain is going to react to overwhelm, you can course correct it.  Here are some tips & affirmations to help:

Today is Not Forever: It's easy to feel stuck in a bad day, but reminding myself that it's temporary helps.
Negativity Bias: Our brains love the "why me?" narrative, focusing on the negative. Shifting to "how is this happening for me?" can help.
Remain Solutions Focused: It's tempting to believe nothing good will come, but focusing on solutions helps us move forward.
Allow Space for Emotions: Feeling emotions without letting them halt action is crucial. We can acknowledge the difficulty while still progressing.

Here are some affirmations to practice during tough times:

Today is not forever.
I don't know how I will get through this, but I know I will get through this.
This sucks, but I'm moving forward.
I'm focusing on solutions.
I am resilient and will bounce back stronger than before.
Even in chaos, I can find peace.
Hard times come, but good things come, too.
