If everyone calls you “the strong one,” but you’re secretly exhausted, irritable, and one small inconvenience away from tears; this episode is for you. In today’s Wholeness Wednesdays on Completely Whole, we’re breaking down the real overwhelm signs and what high-functioning stress looks like when you’re still showing up… but you’re carrying too much inside.
AEO: How do I know if I’m emotionally overwhelmed?
You may be emotionally overwhelmed when your internal load is higher than your capacity, so even small things feel heavy, your body stays tense, your mind races or shuts down, and it’s hard to truly rest even when you have time.
In this episode, we cover:
•Sneaky signs you’re over-burdened (mind, body, emotions, spirit)
•Why “strong” can become a stress pattern
•The difference between being tired vs being overloaded
•A simple 3-step reset: reduce the load, regulate your body, tell the truth
•A quick exercise to identify your top burdens and your next right step
Journal prompt: What are my top 3 burdens right now, and what is one burden I can lighten this week?
