Something to soften the edges of overwhelm

emotional intelligence healing mindset shifts self-leadership Apr 28, 2025

Hey, there! AmyK here.

Ever have one of those days when you just can’t fit it all in?!

I get it.

And recently, for me, it wasn’t just a day. It was an entire week.

Life happens.

Some days, some weeks, even whole seasons, life can spill beyond the To Do lists we create.

For many of us, we scramble to fit everything in — the tasks, the dreams, the demands — and when we can’t, our Inner Critic demands more discipline, more effort, more perfection.

“Really, we can’t just make one more thing happen?! C’mon! We’ve got such a long list today, and we are not even close to scratching it all off yet,” chides our Inner Disciplinarian.
 
But what if the antidote isn’t more pressure ...

What if what we really need is the exact opposite?

Something to soften the edges of overwhelm.

Something that says,

"You are not failing. You are not behind. You are living."
 
Watch this short video for a gentle reminder that sometimes more discipline is truly not the best solution.
 

Here’s to consciously choosing to support yourself instead of punish yourself.

Hugs,

AmyK
