Eat Blog Talk 751: When Life Looks Full But Feels Empty (Mindset & Self-Care)
Sometimes life looks abundant from the outside, but inside you may feel numb or empty. This episode explores why that happens and how to rediscover sparks of aliveness.
I've been in that place where everything looked good on paper - my calendar was full, my family cared for, my fridge stocked - yet inside I felt hollow. It's confusing and even scary to admit that emptiness when you think you should feel grateful. But that ache isn't a flaw, it's an invitation. In this episode, I share stories and practices that helped me follow sparks of joy back to a life that feels alive again.
Action Steps:
- Pause and breathe: Notice that emptiness isn't a sign you're broken, but a signal to pay attention.
- Reframe fulfillment: Recognize that abundance outside doesn't guarantee fullness inside.
- Notice sparks: Watch for small moments that stir joy, then let yourself follow them.
- Try simple practices: Step barefoot in the grass, sing in your car, or sip tea without distractions.
- Say no when needed: Protect your energy by releasing what doesn't feel aligned.
