Promptly Unhinged: What felt like too much or not enough this week?
guiding chaos, one prompt at a time
Some weeks feel off-balance.
Too much noise. Not enough pause. Too many roles, not enough rest.
Even if you pushed through, your nervous system probably clocked every single moment.
Why This Prompt Matters
This is not just a reflection exercise. It is also a regulation tool.
When we name what overwhelmed us or where we felt unmet, it helps the brain and body begin to reset. Your system can stop guessing and start grounding.
When things feel like too much, your energy might spike, scatter, or shut down.
When things feel like not enough, your needs might go quiet, get missed, or shrink down inside you.
Both experiences are valid. Neither one means you’re failing.
This prompt helps you track the tilt. It helps your system name the imbalance so you don’t carry it into next week unnoticed.
Try writing:
a bulleted list of what felt heavy
a few quiet moments that felt missing
what your system kept asking for but didn’t get
one word per line, no need for full sentences
You can map it with colors.
You can list it in categories.
You can say the same word twelve times.
Let your journal hold the overload and the emptiness. That is a nervous system win.
If your week tilted off-center, you’re not alone.

This time, I meant to record a journaling video for this prompt.
Instead, I accidentally double-tapped the record button and ended up with… nothing.
Too much: The world
Not enough: Time to breathe, to pause, space for me
Some days go that way. The glitch is part of the message.
