Mental and Emotional Overload: Why So Many Are Carrying Too Much Into 2026

As we move toward 2026, one of the biggest struggles people are quietly carrying is mental and emotional overload. It’s the feeling of having too many thoughts running at once while your emotions feel heavy and unsettled. You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but on the inside, your mind feels full, your heart feels tired, and peace feels out of reach. This kind of overload doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’ve been strong for a long time without the right support.

Mental and emotional overload often shows up during seasons of uncertainty. It appears when life doesn’t go as planned, when answers feel unclear, and when control starts slipping away. You may notice it when you’re constantly overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, snapping more easily, or feeling disconnected from yourself and from God. I’ve been there myself, trying to manage everything, praying but still feeling overwhelmed, and wondering why peace felt so hard to hold onto. The truth is, overload continues when we keep trying to carry what God never intended us to carry alone.

This struggle happens because many of us were taught to push through, figure it out, and stay busy instead of slowing down and renewing our minds. We try to control outcomes instead of trusting God with the process. Scripture speaks directly to this in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus says, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” God doesn’t shame us for feeling overwhelmed; He invites us to rest, reset, and learn a new way of thinking and living with Him.

Many people have already tried to “fix” this overload by investing in expensive options: long retreats, vacations, or services that focus only on talking through stress. While those experiences may offer temporary relief, the overwhelm often returns because the mind hasn’t been renewed, and confidence hasn’t been rebuilt. Real change doesn’t come from escaping life for a moment. It comes from learning how to think differently, trust God more deeply, and live with intention from the inside out.

This is where the Confidence Mindset Program becomes the turning point. I help people feel sure of themselves and live on purpose by teaching them how to change the way they think and partner with God to build the life they truly want. This program is not about quick fixes. It’s about lasting transformation, internal peace, and learning how to live confidently even when life feels uncertain. If you’re tired of carrying mental and emotional overload into another year, it’s time to choose a different path.

Join the Confidence Mindset Program by scheduling your consultation call at www.lifeisbutajourney.com. This is your step toward real change, renewed peace, and a life created on purpose with God—no longer controlled by overwhelm, but guided by clarity, confidence, and faith.

Rediscovering Your True Identity in God

Identity is something everyone struggles with at some point in life. The truth is, our identity comes from God, the one who created us. He gave us our worth and purpose before we ever tried to define ourselves by titles, roles, or what others thought about us. When we lose sight of who we are in Him, we start to search for identity in people, achievements, or even the opinions of others, leaving us feeling empty and disconnected from who God designed us to be.

Many individuals lose their sense of self when life takes unexpected turns — through failed relationships, career struggles, or painful experiences. I know because I’ve been there. For a long time, I lost my identity in the labels others placed on me and the mistakes I made. I believed the limiting belief that “I am not enough unless I prove myself.” That belief kept me trapped in cycles of doubt and insecurity, always striving but never feeling whole. It wasn’t until I turned back to God and allowed Him to remind me of who I truly was that I began to heal and walk confidently in my identity.

The good news is you don’t have to stay stuck in that place. A first step you can take right now to begin discovering your identity is to spend intentional time with God daily. Write down what He says about you in His Word and speak it over yourself. 1 Peter 2:9 reminds us, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” This scripture is proof that your identity is secure in Him, not in what the world says. God also places people in our lives to walk alongside us, encourage us, and help us see the gifts He placed within us.

When we lean on God and begin to see ourselves the way He sees us, we step into freedom. We start to live with intention, clarity, and confidence. It’s not about chasing the approval of others, but about standing firm in the identity He has given us. And when you walk in that truth, you don’t just change your own life; you inspire others to do the same.

Applying today’s lesson is a powerful first step toward rediscovering your God-given identity. The next step is to schedule your consultation call to work with me inside the Confidence Mindset Program. In this program, I’ll help you build confidence, break free from limiting beliefs, and start living on purpose with God by your side. You don’t have to keep feeling lost or unsure because together we’ll create the clarity, peace, and direction you’ve been searching for. I help people feel sure of themselves and live on purpose by teaching them how to change the way they think and partner with God to build the life they truly want.

Until Next Time, Remember To Live Confidently On Purpose…

Thinking Higher: Shifting Your Mind to What Matters

Have you ever caught yourself stuck in a loop of thinking about everything you don’t have? It’s easy to focus on what’s missing—more money, better relationships, a different life. But when your mind stays in lack, your life follows. God calls us to think higher, to set our minds on His truth instead of our doubts. Philippians 4:8 reminds us, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” When you shift your focus to what God says instead of what you think you’re missing, you open the door to peace, confidence, and a life lived on purpose.

One of the biggest limiting beliefs that holds people back is the idea that “I’ll never have enough.” I know this struggle well. For years, I believed if I just had a little more—more success, more approval, more of whatever—I’d finally feel secure. But that kind of thinking kept me chasing instead of thriving. Higher thinking isn’t about ignoring reality; it’s about deciding to focus on what God is doing instead of what seems to be missing. When you believe that God provides, you stop striving and start walking in peace.

If you’re ready to break free from lack thinking and start thriving, it’s time to shift your mindset. A great way to do this is by writing down three things you’re grateful for each day—yes, even the small stuff. Gratitude rewires your brain to see what’s possible instead of what’s missing. And if you need support in making this shift, I’m here to help! Schedule a consultation call today to learn more about my Confidence Mindset Program, where you’ll gain the tools to think higher, thrive in life, and feel peace in every situation. It’s time to rise! 💫✨

Escape the Desperation Trap: Find Your Confidence Today…

My Traveling Friends, there was a man named Jack who felt really desperate in his life. He had lost just lost his job, his family was struggling, and he didn’t have enough money topay the bills. Every day felt like a race against time, and he didn’t know how to make things better. He started to feel like there was no hope and no way out of his situations.

Guys, this story made be fiction, and yet for millions of individuals this is the story of their life. There are individuals out there that have just lost their jobs, struggling to make ends meet, going through a divorce, dating and so badly wanting to be married, etc… And they are allowing the feelings of desperation dictate their behaviors, which is creating and recreating a life that continues to feel hopeless.

Is this your story too? Have you ever felt like Jack? What did you do to try to fix it? Or maybe you didn’t have a clue where to start.

If you are reading this blog that means it found you and this information will be the start of you seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s talk…

Being desperate means feeling like you need something so babdly that you’ll do almost anything to get it. It’s when you feel like you have no options left and you’re willing to take any chance to fix your problem. Being desperate in life maeans feeling trapped and hopless in different parts of your life. It can make you do things that aren’t good for you because you’re trying to solve your problems quickly. All in an effort to get out of the pain of desperation.

Let’s look at some examples:

  1. Career: Imagine you’re working really hard at your job, but you’re not getting the promotion you desire. You start feeling desperate. You just might quit your jobs without having another job lined up or you may start taking on too much work trying to impress your boss.
  2. Friendship Issues: If you’re feeling lonely, you might do anything to make friends. This could mean
  3. Money Problems: Imagine you really need money to pay for something important. You might take a job you don’t like or even think about borrowing money frompeople you shouldn’t, just to solve the problem fast.

One big belief that makes people act desperately is thinking, “I’m not good enough.” When you believe this, you feel like you have to prove yourself all the time, which can lead to making bad choice just to show that you’re worthy and to get approval from others.

Embracing Change: Understanding Transitional Seasons In Life

Have you ever felt stuck between what used to be and what is coming next?

Life is like the weather, always changing. Sometimes, these changing are small, like a sunny day turning into a rainy afternoon. Other times, they are big, like summer changing into winter. These big changes are what we call transitional seasons. A transitional season is a time in life when something big is changing. It could be something exciting or something scary. They are times when our familiar routines are interrupted, and we are pushed out of our comfort zones. During these times, everything can feel different, and it might be hard to know what to do next. Transitional seasons challenge our current identity and often force us to redefine our goals, values, and priorities.

Forgiveness of Self: The Path to Healing and Growth

My Traveling Friends, forgiveness of self is one of the most powerful yet challenging journeys you will embark upon. It’s an act of courage, compassion, and deep inner work that will transform your lives. At least that is what I experience when I took the challenging journey of forgiving myself of the past hurt that I caused to myself. And it is for this reason that I want to explore why self-forgiveness is essential, what might hold us back, and how we can begin this transformative process.

I am curious, have you ever held onto guilt or regret for something you did in the past? How did it affect your daily life and your self-esteem? I ask these questions because I myself held onto guilt for something that Idiin the past and because of the guilt it was hard for memto hold my head up high, it was hard for me to see myself the way God sees me. And out of that guilt I did not make wise decision for my life. Forgiveness was to key to my freedom, and forgiveness is the key to your freedom too.
