Love your list!! I'm taking note and incorporating this into my season of life. I needed a new list and reset to regain my intentions and inner journey. Thank you for that. :)

The action I can take to assist me when I struggle with overwhelm is to simply...PAUSE. Take a minute or two which in turn resets me to what is right in front of me and realign what is expected of me or the expectations I place upon myself. Discerning the difference is key. But first pause.

Liz, I’m tracking with you and glad this helps a bit. I too pause—multiple times a day. It’s remarkable too, how the brief pause I describe in the post with crisscrossed arms and ankles, tongue tip to roof of mouth, can reset the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Doing this for 20-30 minutes is like a several hour nap, and most importantly realigns everything! Discernment is so key, and kindness to ourselves. Yes to that first pause you describe. Big hug to you!
