What drives us the most are the "thinking, behaviors, and emotions" that create the anxiety, the overwhelm. Overwhelm becomes the armor that we put on to mask our vulnerability.

Experiencing overwhelm sucks. If you're going to crack overwhelm, you've got to examine three pieces: feelings, belief systems, and self-talk.

We read all of the time about how we’re supposed to accept ourselves, make friends with ourselves, love ourselves, as if it’s as easy as turning on a switch.
