hi, it’s me… i’m overstimulated 🤍
the constant noise of motherhood
the in and out, the back and forth
the talking, the asking, the needing
the moments that never really feel quiet
and somewhere in between…
our phones, our computers, the constant connection
we’re rarely without input
so when we finally try to rest…
it doesn’t feel peaceful
it feels uncomfortable
because our nervous systems have been “on” for too long
this isn’t a failure to relax
it’s a body that hasn’t had enough space to come down
✨ try this instead:
build in small, intentional pauses throughout your day
just 2–3 minutes
no phone, no noise, no multitasking
step outside
close your eyes
take a slow breath
let your body practice stillness again 🤍
