Ever feel super overwhelmed because your “to do” list is never going to end? Or because you’re facing this huge obstacle and you are not sure how you will get through it?
Ever feel like shutting down or crawling into a dark hole because facing the day is just too hard?
I know I’ve felt that way. And it’s not fun.
