How Do You WANT to Feel?

Do you feel the way you want to feel right now?

Perhaps you want to feel calm, capable and more like yourself again. Instead, you feel worn down, emotionally exhausted and completely overwhelmed. You may not know what needs to change first. You only know that you do not want to keep feeling this way.

How Do You Feel Right Now?

Does it feel as though everything is piling up on top of you?

You reach the end of the day exhausted, but your mind will not stop.

You replay conversations and wonder whether you said the wrong thing. You think about what you should have done differently, what you forgot and what is still waiting for you tomorrow.

Eventually, you fall asleep, only to wake again an hour or two later and start going over everything from the beginning.

The smallest thing can feel enormous.

One unexpected phone call, one more request or one small change of plan can feel like the final thing that pushes you over the edge.

You may look as though you are coping.

You keep answering questions, helping other people and doing what needs to be done. Inside, you may feel as though you are barely holding everything together.

I understand that feeling.

I know what it is like to feel as though life has become too heavy and you no longer know where to begin.

What Happens When You Keep Pushing Through?

You keep going because you feel as though you have no other choice.

People still need you. Decisions still have to be made and life does not stop simply because you have reached your limit.

The more you push, the bigger everything seems to become.

Tasks pile up. Decisions become harder and you put things off because you cannot face one more demand.

Then the guilt begins.

You feel guilty because you did not get everything done. You tell yourself that you should have tried harder or handled things better.

The pressure builds again and around and around it goes.

Eventually, everything can feel insurmountable.

You may stop trying, not because you do not care, but because you no longer know where to turn.

That does not mean you are lazy.

It does not mean you are weak.

It means you have been carrying too much for too long.

You Are Not Alone

My name is Kevin and through Fresh Start Wellness, I want to help people who feel this way.

I am not here to tell you to get over it, change your thinking or simply try harder.

I am here to listen.

I want you to know that I understand what it feels like when life becomes overwhelming. I have faced times when my health, confidence and direction changed completely.

During those times, I did not need another person telling me what I should be doing.

I needed someone to care.

Sometimes, that is what we need most. We need someone to say, "I understand. I have been there and I want to help you."

That is what I want to offer through Fresh Start Wellness.

Not another long list.

Not more pressure.

A helping hand and someone willing to walk beside you one small step at a time.

What Is One Small Step You Can Take Today?

For today, choose one thing that can wait.

Not everything is urgent, even when it feels that way.

Give yourself permission to leave one non-essential task until tomorrow.

That is the step.

You do not need to solve anything else today.

You do not need to make a plan, write a list or work out your whole future.

Simply let one thing wait.

Sometimes, the first step towards feeling better is not doing more.

It is giving yourself permission to carry a little less.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Do not tell yourself that you should be coping better.

Do not compare your private struggle with someone else's public appearance.

Do not try to fix everything at once.

Most importantly, do not believe that asking for help means you have failed.
