What To Do When You Feel Stuck
Reasons:
You find yourself unable to sleep as well as you used to: unable to fall asleep, waking up many times a night, or waking earlier than you would like.
• You feel more stress than you’ve felt before, which can sometimes be described as a heaviness on your chest.
• You find yourself overwhelmed, unable to keep up or handle the normal rhythms of everyday life like you used to from parenting, to housework, to your job, to your marriage.

• You feel unmotivated to accomplish the things you need to do.
