How to stop overthinking 👀

📌 save this for the next time your mind won’t switch off

ANXIETY FEELS LOUD. HERE’S HOW TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.

From your neurodiverse coach…

When anxiety takes over, start by acknowledging the feeling rather than fighting it. “I’m feeling anxious right now.” You don’t need to judge yourself for feeling this way.

Then bring yourself back to what’s actually in front of you. Anxiety loves the what-ifs, worst-case scenarios and everything you might need to deal with tomorrow. But you don’t need to solve everything right now.

And remember: anxiety doesn’t always tell the truth.
It might tell you “I can’t cope” “something is going to go wrong” or “I need to fix this NOW.”

A thought is not a fact.

You are not weak for feeling anxious. Your nervous system is responding to something it perceives as a threat.

So breathe. Slow down. Drop your shoulders. Put your feet on the floor.

Focus on the next thing in front of you, not everything at once.

Save this for the days your mind feels loud.

Burnout doesn’t happen overnight.

It happens when you keep telling yourself, “Just one more thing...” until your mind and body have had enough.

Rest isn’t something you have to earn, and slowing down doesn’t make you lazy. Taking care of yourself means you’ll have the energy to keep showing up for the things that matter most.

Be kind to yourself. Your to-do list will still be there tomorrow.

Sending your reminders of EXACTLY who you are 👊🏼

Which one resonates?

Some Mondays, showing up looks different.

If you’re navigating peri-menopause, a heatwave, or a busy neurodivergent mind, remember this:

Movement doesn’t have to be intense to make a difference.

A short walk. A few stretches. Five minutes of breathing. It all counts.

This week, don’t focus on doing more. Focus on doing what your body needs.

Small steps are still progress.

I know exercise is good for me... but when I’m peri-menopausal, it’s 28°C outside, my clothes suddenly feel like they’re made of sandpaper, and my nervous system is already shouting “absolutely not”... it can feel like quite the challenge!

We hear so much about the benefits of exercise for our hormones, mood and overall wellbeing. But for many neurodivergent women, the biggest challenge isn’t knowing why movement is important, it’s overcoming the sensory and nervous system barriers that can make it sometimes feel impossible.

Some days, just getting dressed deserves an Olympic medal. Menopause + a heatwave + neurodivergent nervous system = existintance itself feeling like an endurance event!! So if the thought of exercise makes you want to lie face down on the coolest floor in the house crying... I completely get it!

And then the guilt creeps in because social media is full of people smashing workouts while you’re wondering if walking to the freezer counts as cardio.

Who can relate? 🙋🏼‍♀️
