Why this matters

So many of us keep going because we think we have to. We override our bodies, our emotions, and our need for rest — until everything feels heavy.

This worksheet was created as a companion to today’s presentation to help you pause, listen inward, and respond with compassion instead of pressure.

What’s inside

  • Gentle reflection prompts

  • A simple grounding exercise you can return to anytime

  • Space to write and process at your own pace

  • A faith-centered anchor for rest and reassurance
