For me it has always been creating things.

This is where many of my card designs root from!

Do you recognize these moments? 🙋‍♀️

The ones were you feel you're going in and out of weeds all day.

The ones were it gets too much and everything feels blown?

This is the way Brené Brown describes stress and overwhelm. I love finding analogies that explain what's happening in the moment.

Why is stress like the weeds? Different stressors are part of daily life and as we go along, we go in and out of them like the weeds.

Why is overwhelm like being blown? When you hit this point, our bodies and minds feel like things are happening fast than we can handle it.

Learning how to manage both is very important as if you continue to add to the stress and overwhelm, chronic stress enters the room.

More on this next time, as I will go through the differences between overwhelm, stress, chronic stress and burnout.

When did overwhelm last hit you? 🤔

I used to feel this way a lot.
I’d try to stay on top of it all.
But the feeling would rise, and suddenly be like a big wave hitting me, tumbling in the water and taking me down. 🌊

Where do I turn next?
What do I do?
How do I keep the emotions at bay!?

The answer - DO NOTHING. 😮

Let whose with you know… you need a moment.

Or as Brene Brown calls it - you’re blown.

Overwhelm is that feeling when things become too much for our body and mind to handle.
The wave takes over.

When this happens, do nothing.
Let your body and mind do what it needs. Cry, scream, pace, walk, run.
Don’t go on your phone, try to do something else, or talk to someone else.
Just be for a moment what your body and mind needs.

This is the best way to deal with that overwhelming moment.
After giving yourself this moment, you can return back and decide the next action.

Save this post for when you might need it. ❤️
Share with a friend as a tool they can use too.

I loved creating things since I was a kid. I made cards, posters, forts - you name it. I love making things that make others feel special!

I’m very excited that now my designs are available at The Social Spot in Cochrane. I always wanted to be part of the local maker community with my vibrant creations and it’s amazing to see this now happen.

And if you aren’t in Cochrane but want to see my designs, you can check them out on Etsy:

NEW IN STORE | The Place to Be Coaching 🙌

From vibrant cards to affirmations to travel posters celebrating Cochrane, all of Amelia's designs are made with the hope to make you feel special and bring a smile.

"My business starts back to when I was a kid. Growing up in Didsbury AB, I’ve loved creating meaningful designs that really speak to someone. From posters that inspired a friend to scrapbooks filled with memories for my mom, making someone feel special has always been at the heart of what I do.

This is also why I became a Certified Empowerment & Breath Coach. I saw how overwhelm, stress and burnout skyrocketed especially after the pandemic. This led me to helping people reduce overwhelm and amplify joy within their life. This aligns with my designs - helping others to feel special and find what brings them joy instead of staying stuck running in the daily grind."

We are so happy to have The Place To Be in store now - come in and see her designs today!

Embrace this funny quote today! 🙌

Trying to please others is much like chasing your tail - it sends you in circles and getting more overwhelming by the minute.

Take a moment to focus back on what's important to you and why. What's your own path? 👣

It’s just too much, it’s the size of a mountain! ⛰️

That’s a phrase I’ve repeated to myself over and over. The overwhelm fogs over and you’re lost in it. The phrase ‘it’s too much’ is like a record on repeat. 🤦‍♀️

Now whenever that happens, I think back.
I think to a past experience when I faced many unknowns and growing overwhelm - and how I made it through.

❓What’s a past experience where you’ve made it through overwhelm?
❓How did you do it?

This helps us know what works best for us when things get mountain high.

For me, the first step is breaking it down into the first smallest step or action. And then the second. 👣

From there, I realize I can climb the mountain.
And make it to the top. 💃

Rocking life’s challenges can sure feel like a rocking chair. 🫤

You feel like you moving but you don’t get anywhere.

If you feel like a rocking chair right now, send me a message.

Falling can lead to the joy of laughing. ⭐️

Failure (the fall) leads to a new moment (the laugh).
One you didn’t expect.

I can be pretty hard on myself about failures.
As I’m sure a lot of us are.

But next time something feels like you’re failing, check in and ask yourself:

What else is in this moment? 🤔

This isn’t about ignoring the disappointment when you feel that, those feels are important. It’s about widening the lens and seeing what else is present in the moment, alongside the failure. It could be a feeling, learning or action.

You might be falling down a mountain but see, instead, you are sliding.
