Onward Tips: Positive Self-Talk When You Feel Overwhelmed

When navigating divorce, it’s normal to feel completely overwhelmed (we’ve been there, done that ourselves here at Onward). Yet with these short but mighty self-talk reminders, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can calm your nervous system. Give it a try and see how it feels.

It’s okay to take care of small things first.

I have time to slow down and take a breath.

I don’t have to have all the answers right now.

I just need to focus on one step at a time right now.

I am doing the best I can.

There’s nothing wrong with asking for help.

Not everything is in my control, and that’s okay.

Small steps matter.

Take a break to recenter, then try again.
