As the year wraps up, it’s hard not to compare.

Year-end recaps, highlight reels, milestones everywhere 😬, suddenly it feels like everyone climbed higher, faster, better.

But here’s the truth: Your potential is limitless. 🫵🏻

It isn’t defined by someone else’s steps, timeline, or progress. You’re not behind just because your growth didn’t look loud this year.

Some seasons are about climbing: Others are about building strength!

As this year closes, take what’s yours and leave the comparisons behind. Your potential didn’t disappear…it’s still waiting for you to go after it. 🚀

We often focus on productivity, routines, and time management when we talk about stress...
But a lot of emotional strain doesn’t come from what’s on your schedule- it comes from what you’re holding back.

Unspoken needs 💬
Unprocessed emotions 🧠
Unmade decisions 🔄
Unsaid boundaries 🚧

This eventually, it shows up as tension, fatigue, irritability, or shutdown!

Awareness doesn’t make everything disappear overnight but it gently returns choice, space, and a sense of control to what once felt overwhelming 🌱

Some people help you feel understood before you even finish your sentence.

That is the kind of space Connie creates. 🤍

Sometimes it’s easier to notice boundaries in movie characters than in ourselves. 🎬

Each of these moments shows what it looks like to say “this is too much,” “this isn’t fair,” or “this doesn’t align with me” - in a way that feels real and human.

If one of these characters felt a little too relatable, you’re not imagining it. ✨ It might be a sign your mind is already trying to set a boundary you’ve been avoiding.

Which one stood out to you? 💬

It’s common to feel guilty when you start to move forward after a breakup, loss, or major transition. Many people worry that moving on means they didn’t care enough or are “leaving something behind.”

➡️But guilt in these moments doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong… it usually means the experience mattered. Your mind is adjusting to a new reality, and that can feel unfamiliar at first.

Moving forward isn’t forgetting.
You’re allowed to grow, heal, and step into what’s next while still honoring what happened. ❤️‍🩹

Take your time. Your progress doesn’t need to be justified to others or to yourself.

Is your brain tired from being “on” all day?...it’s cognitive overload! YES! 🙌🏻

When your brain never shuts off, your prefrontal cortex (the part that manages focus, decisions, motivation) burns through its energy fast. That’s why you feel drained, foggy, unmotivated… even after doing “nothing.” 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻

Here’s TBAC's recommended tips on how to reset your system:

✨ 1. Move your body for 10 minutes.
It boosts oxygen + dopamine, helping your brain switch out of survival mode.

✨ 2. Reintroduce small pleasures.
Tiny sensory rewards (warm drink, sunlight, music) help your nervous system downshift.

✨ 3. Reduce overstimulation.
Even 30 minutes with your phone in another room lowers cortisol + mental fatigue.

✨ 4. Break tasks into micro-steps.
A tired brain sees everything as “too much.” Micro-steps shrink the threat response.

✨ 5. Add structure slowly.
Predictability gives your brain a place to rest- motivation returns when safety does.

Your brain isn’t broken. It’s exhausted from running on high alert. Give it space to power down, and the spark comes back on its own. 💛
