Do you do this too…
Scroll Instagram on Sunday night, see “that girl” who’s got her life together, and think:
Tomorrow I’m going to change. Become the person I want to be.
You imagine waking up at 6 am. Going for a run. Meditating. Journaling. Getting ready without criticising yourself. Having a healthy breakfast. Grabbing a black Americano from Starbucks. Getting your to-do list done. And finishing work on time.
Then Monday arrives…
Your alarm goes off. You decide you’ll exercise tomorrow. And instead, go into work early — you’ve got so much to do. On the way, you grab a caramel cappuccino with chocolate sprinkles and a warm almond croissant. At work, you don’t know where to start. Everything’s urgent and a priority…
Sound familiar?
What They Don’t Tell You
You’re overwhelmed, anxious, and unhappy because most self-help books, podcasts, YouTube videos etc., focus on WHAT to change. Not HOW.
The result? You feel out of control. And stay stuck.
The 2 Surprising Reasons You Feel Overwhelmed
REASON #1: You Try to Change Everything at Once
You want happiness and health. So you try to eat healthier, run more, create a morning routine, go to bed early, feel more confident, improve your relationships, be better with money, enjoy work more, be more productive, and put yourself first.
Why it doesn’t work: Your brain can only handle ONE meaningful change at a time. Otherwise, it goes into overwhelm mode as a protective mechanism.
REASON #2: You Think You Need To “Shake Yourself Out Of It”
You feel unmotivated and stuck, so you push yourself more. You think, if you just had more discipline and willpower, you’d stick to your goals.
Why it doesn’t work: Discipline. Willpower. Motivation. They’re limited resources. And they deplete quickly — especially under stress.
