Learn to communicate your needs, set healthy boundaries, and stress less.
You lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Sleep won't come. You try to slow your racing thoughts but it’s useless. They are with you all the time, endlessly worrying about everything. That voice in your head won't shut up. It feels like there is so much to do but not enough time. Time is moving a mile a minute. It's becoming more difficult to concentrate at work. Relationships with your family members and friends become strained. It’s hard to remember the last time you felt really happy and not stressed out. You don’t feel good about where you are in life, but you’re unsure how to make a change, and it's exhausting.
