How to Make Big Goals Feel Less Overwhelming

One of the reasons people feel overwhelmed by goals is because the mind turns them into massive mountains that feel impossible to climb. But almost every meaningful change in life is built through very small actions repeated consistently over time. When you stop focusing on the entire journey and instead focus on the next tiny step, progress becomes much less intimidating. Even getting out of bed, taking a shower, sending one email, or going for a short walk can create momentum. Small actions may seem insignificant in the moment, but they are often what slowly change your life.

What is one small action you could take today that would move you slightly closer to your goals?

A story

There is nothing wrong with wanting more for yourself. Goals, ambition, and growth can give life meaning and direction. The problem happens when we convince ourselves that peace and happiness only exist somewhere in the future after we achieve the next thing. A healthier mindset is learning how to pursue your goals while still appreciating the life you already have along the way. Life is not only about arriving somewhere. It is also about experiencing where you are right now.

What is one small thing in your life today that you appreciate but probably don’t slow down enough to notice?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

Looking for Individuals with Picclines in NYC for Nova Campaign Shoot 🤍

Hi! My name is Emilie Delaye, and I’m one of the cofounders of Nova — a brand creating premium stylish piccline covers using unused luxury textiles.

This mission is deeply personal to me because I myself had both a piccline and a port, and I know firsthand how difficult it can be to feel confident and comfortable during a medical journey.

We’re currently casting individuals in New York City who currently have a piccline or have had one before for an upcoming campaign shoot taking place May 27–29.

Our mission is centered around confidence, representation, and creating medical wear that feels more personal and empowering.

No modeling experience is needed at all — we’re simply looking for real people and real stories.

If this sounds like someone in your community (or yourself), we’d love to connect. Please DM us or email emiliejd@udel.edu for more details 💌

Thank you so much for your support!

Don’t Give Up on Yourself

When people are struggling with depression or hopelessness, the mind often convinces them that nothing will ever change and that there is no point in continuing. But one of the most important things I learned during my own recovery is that progress is still possible as long as you keep moving forward. You do not need to have everything figured out today. Sometimes all you need to do is survive this moment, try again tomorrow, and keep taking small steps toward the life you want. Healing is often much slower than we wish it would be, but that does not mean it is not happening.

If you’re comfortable sharing, what is something that helped you keep going during a difficult time?

Healing

A lot of people feel guilty for focusing on themselves, especially when they care deeply about others. But ignoring your own emotional needs eventually leads to burnout, resentment, exhaustion, and unhealthy relationships. Healing yourself is not selfish. It allows you to show up for other people from a place of stability, compassion, and genuine care instead of emotional depletion. The healthier your relationship is with yourself, the healthier your relationships with others become.

Do you feel like you spend more time taking care of others or taking care of yourself?

You Are More Capable Than You Realize

I know how convincing the mind can be when you’re struggling. It tells you that you’re too broken, too weak, too far behind, or that things will never change for you. But the people you admire who overcame anxiety, depression, fear, heartbreak, or failure are not special or superhuman. They simply kept moving forward despite what their mind was telling them. Growth begins when you stop treating every negative thought like a fact and start giving yourself the same chance you believe other people deserve.

What is one thing your mind has been trying to convince you that you’re not capable of?

Yet again I had to cancel an appointment

I was supposed to have an Endo appointment today but I have been getting very sick all morning. I feel like I'm gonna barf. I texted my diabetes coach and she instructed me on how to cancel my appointment. Then I cancelled my transportation.
I am in a high amount of pain right now. And I'm sweating profusely and dizzy. I'm gonna have my coach call me so they can document it.
