139. Journaling Through Overwhelm | 5 Min Journal Prompts
Feeling like there are too many tabs open in your brain? đź“‚ You're not alone. In this focused 5-minute journaling episode, I'm tackling the #1 emotion I hear from ambitious, goal-oriented working moms: overwhelming overwhelm.
When your to-do list never ends and everyone needs a piece of you, overwhelm isn't just an emotion—it's a constant state of being. But what if 5 minutes with your journal could help you find the breathing room you've been desperately seeking?
⏱️ In this episode, you'll discover:
- How to identify exactly what's causing your overwhelm (it might not be what you think)
- What your overwhelm is actually trying to tell you about your deeper needs
- Small daily moments that secretly feed your stress levels
- How to reclaim just 15 minutes of emotional energy each day (and what to do with it)
I guide you through four powerful prompts designed to help you not just acknowledge your overwhelm, but actually start dismantling it—creating space for genuine peace and presence in your busy life.
Journal Prompts Included:
- When was the last time you felt completely overwhelmed? What was happening? (Free write about the situation and emotions)
- If your overwhelm could speak directly to you about what you truly need right now, what message would it be trying to deliver?
- What small moments throughout your day unintentionally feed your sense of overwhelm, and which one could you approach differently tomorrow?
- If you could reclaim just 15 minutes of emotional energy tomorrow, how would you spend it in a way that reconnects you with yourself?
