You feel like you’re at the bottom of the sea.
Pressure everywhere, no way to float up.
You wonder if you’re just too sensitive for this world.
But what if the solution is all around you?
Here’s how to find it, step by step:
Start by seeing your overwhelm as a metaphor.
When you name it, you start to break it down.
Look for clues in your environment—people, actions, skills.
Each one is a way to shift your beliefs about what you’re capable of.
Take small steps outside your comfort zone, even if it’s scary.
Courage doesn’t come first; it comes after you act.
With each repetition, you remind yourself you can do hard things.
You’re not stuck at the bottom—you’re learning to swim.
You can change how you see yourself, one action at a time.
