The Hidden Reason You Feel Overwhelmed After Summer

Ever notice how September sneaks up on you? One minute you’re soaking in the last bits of summer, and the next your inbox is exploding, school events are popping up, and work deadlines are multiplying like rabbits.

Here’s the thing no one talks about: transitions are sneaky energy drains.

It’s not just the tasks on your calendar, it’s the constant switching between roles. From summer mode → work mode → family mode → “what’s for dinner” mode. Your brain is working overtime, even when you’re not aware of it.

So if you’re sitting there thinking, “Why can’t I just get it together already?” … it’s because you’ve been in transition.

One Simple Strategy: Anchor Your Week

Instead of chasing every demand, try creating one anchor point for the week.

Your anchor is the one non-negotiable that keeps you grounded no matter what else happens.

• For some, it’s a Sunday night planning ritual.

• For others, it’s a Wednesday evening walk where no one else gets your time.

• Or maybe it’s a 15-minute coffee break midweek where you check in with yourself before checking on everyone else.

This small anchor acts like a reset button. It tells your nervous system, I have a center, even when everything else is moving.

Because the problem was never that you couldn’t handle it, the problem is you were never meant to do it without support or a plan that fits you. 💛
