Life is busy and its easy to feel like you're running on empty. All you need is 5 minutes to create more calm in your day and start feeling better.

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, constantly juggling responsibilities, and struggling to find a moment of peace. I vividly remember pressing the snooze button 5-10+ times before I finally dragged myself out of bed. Exhausted but already tense running through my to-do list of things I needed to do wondering why I couldn't just keep it together like everyone else.

Rushing through my early morning routine as quick as I could only to grab my coffee, run out the door and have a tense drive to work knowing I should have left 15 minutes earlier yelling or swearing at the slow driver or lights not changing.

I'd arrive at work already exhausted, stressed and "powering" my way through my day on hopes and dreams there would be some type of space in my day where I could close my eyes which never came. Moments of space were filled with multi-tasking or shoving whatever food I could easily find into my body only to have a splitting headache feeling terrible at my 2 pm crash. Only to grab another cup of coffee only to get a few minutes of relief before feeling sick to my stomach, jittery, on edge and feeling terrible.

I'd come home doomscrolling and binge watching TV to help me "turn off my mind" only to find myself awake in my bed staring at the ceiling wondering why I was such a failure why I wasn't good enough and why it was so much easier for everyone else. Trying not to check the clock every 10 minutes only to decide to turn the TV on again (I chose Friends or Seinfeld) to finally be able to drift off to sleep (I think?) for a few hours only to wake up and do the routine again another day...

This is NOT normal.
