Sometimes the bridge from where you are to where you want to be just seems too much. Do you ever find yourself in a place of overwhelm, with so many things to do, places to be and people to keep happy? And then instead of cracking on you just numb out with food, wine, Netflix or all three! 

I've found that having some structure to my day helps me to keep a balance. I've also found that when my self-care is high my overwhelm is low. My self-care is now spot on because it is part of my daily plan and has become an ingrained habit. Because my self-care is high I then seem to have more time and energy to do the things that I am prioritising.  

My top tip for overwhelm is to have a fantastic morning routine, so that every morning you start your day knowing what is important to you, making some awesome choices about your day and demonstrating self-love. It could be that you need to get up early to do this, maybe before other people in the house, so you can enjoy some conscious ME time.

How do you start your day? What are your thoughts when you open your eyes? Is there room for improvement? Many people start their day by looking at their phone and being sucked straight into other peoples drama and depressing headlines. Is scrolling really the best way to start a new day? Is that the energy you want to set precedent? 

My own current morning routine includes meditation, yoga, focussing on my intentions (my planner) and getting outside. In the past I have also journalled, read something inspiring, written my gratitudes and practised energy medicine exercises. There's an abundance of options and they can be mixed and matched, as long as you are giving yourself a great big dollop of ME time.

By the time I start my working day I feel fabulous, full of positivity and I know my priorities and the order that I will do them. My Planner helps me to do this, it's my go to on a morning and also on an evening, it helps me live with more awareness and self-care and less overwhelm.

This is the third year that my Living In Your Light Magical Planner has been available. I designed it especially for me and my needs, but it seems the other people love it too 🙂
