Stop Struggling, Start Living

Does it feel like you’re constantly overwhelmed?

From the outside, your life looks full. You have the job, friends, and relationship you want, yet you feel unsettled inside. Nights are full of thoughts, and you get little to no rest. Running on fumes you try to make make good choices. You’ve been struggling to accomplish your goals because your mood hasn’t been stable. Overwhelmed and irritable at times and you feel like you want to run away.

Life just isn’t as fun and meaningful as it used to be. Moments of unhappiness come and go. You’ve tried to talk to your friends about what’s wrong but it never seems to help or change anything. You don't know why you can’t shake the feeling of being defeated.
