When overwhelm hits, it’s a natural reaction to try and power through our to-do lists in the hope that crossing something off the list will make things easier. We hope it will make things feel less overwhelming. In practice, though, that doesn’t work very well.

Started your healing journey but haven’t started feeling the results yet? Don’t fret! Here are a few steps to help you navigate your healing journey with ease.

Not feelin’ your gratitude journal right now? Is it feeling like a chore or an obligation? Try this 2-step practice instead.
