WHAT IF THE COUNTDOWN ON YOUR LIFE HIT 00:00…
WHILE YOU WERE BUSY WORRYING ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU STILL HADN’T DONE?

This morning, my clock said 00:00.

And for one weird second, I thought…

“Maybe my time is up.”

I don’t even really know how to explain this morning without sounding a little crazy. 😂

But here we go.

I’ve been tired.

Like… tired tired.

Very little sleep the last couple of weeks. My brain has been going constantly. Work. Kids. Home. Clients. Content. Ideas. Things I need to do. Things I’m behind on. Things I should be doing.

And if I’m being completely transparent, I’ve been a little grumpy this week.

A little touched out.

A little overwhelmed.

A little like…

Can everybody just not need something from me for five minutes?

And I hate feeling like that.

Because I AM grateful.

I know how blessed I am.

But sometimes I think we get so busy doing, doing, doing that gratitude gets buried underneath the weight of everything that still needs done.

That’s kind of where I was this morning.

I woke up thinking…

Here we go again.

Get the kids ready.

Get everybody where they need to be.

Go to work.

Come home.

My house is a mess.

My car is a mess.

There’s laundry.

There’s s**t everywhere.

There are a million things I need to do and somehow never enough hours to do them.

And lately I’ve also been putting a lot more work into creating content.

Trying to educate.

Trying to share things that actually mean something.

Because even though I own a business, I really don’t love constantly being like…

BUY THIS. BOOK THIS. COME GET THIS TREATMENT.

That’s just not me.

I want people to learn something.

Feel something.

Maybe see something differently.

But when you spend hours creating something and it feels like nobody is really seeing it, you start wondering…

Am I wasting my time?

Is any of this actually resonating with anyone?

Why am I putting so much energy into this?

And I think this morning I was just feeling a little defeated.

So I get in my car to take Seylah to the bus.

I’m pulling out of my driveway and I look at my clock.

00:00

And I’m like…

What the hell?

I look again.

00:00

And it stayed there.

For a good minute.

And I know this is going to sound weird, but the first thought that went through my head was…

Maybe my time is up.

Which is a really freaking heavy thought to have at like 6:55 in the morning. 😂

But then I started thinking about it.

There IS a countdown on our lives.

We just don’t get to see it.

We don’t know what it says.

And suddenly I thought…

What if that really WAS it?

What if that was the last moment?

And the last thing I felt was…

Ugh.

Here we go again.

I’m tired.

I have too much to do.

My house is a mess.

My car is a mess.

I have to work.

I’m overwhelmed.

I’m irritated.

I’m exhausted.

And I thought…

God, that would suck.

If that was the last way I ever felt.

That sat with me.

Then I came back home because I had a cancellation this morning.

And do you know what my immediate thought was?

Oh good. I can use this time to work.

😂😂😂

Of course.

So I sit down and upload a video into CapCut because I’m going to edit some videos before I have to go to work.

And this voiceover automatically pulls into the edit.

Something that has NEVER happened before.

And I’m sitting there listening to it like…

Okay.

Seriously?

First 00:00.

Now this?

And I don’t know.

You can call it coincidence.

You can call it the universe.

You can call it God.

Whatever.

But sometimes I think something happens at exactly the moment you need it to happen because you need to notice.

And this morning…

I noticed.

I think I needed someone—or something—to tell me:

Jessica. Stop.

Stop constantly working toward the next thing.

Stop constantly looking at everything that isn’t done.

Stop measuring your life by what still needs fixed, cleaned, built, created, accomplished or checked off the damn list.

Because I realized something this morning.

So much of what is overwhelming me right now…

is exactly what I asked for.

My house is messy.

But…

I wanted this house.

My husband and I worked for this house.

This is OUR house.

I wanted a busy business.

I wanted clients who trusted me.

I wanted clients who came back month after month.

I wanted to build something successful.

I wanted people to invest in me.

And…

I HAVE THAT.

I wanted a family.

I wanted memories.

I wanted weekends at camp.

I wanted a full life.

And now sometimes I’m so busy trying to maintain it all that I forget…

I’m living it.

I’ve spent the last couple weeks thinking…

If I go to camp this weekend, then I’m neglecting the house.

If I clean the house, I’m not working on the business.

If I work on the business, I’m not spending enough time with my family.

If I sit down, I should be doing something.

If I rest, I’m falling behind.

If I’m here, I should be there.

And I cannot be in two places at once.

I cannot do everything at once.

And maybe I’m never going to feel completely caught up.

Maybe the laundry is never all going to be done.

Maybe my car is going to have crap in it.

Maybe there will always be another project.

Another goal.

Another post.

Another appointment.

Another room that needs cleaned.

Another thing I could be doing.

But Jesus…

I don’t want to be so busy building my life that I forget to live inside of it.

I don’t want to constantly be waiting for some magical day when everything is done before I allow myself to feel grateful.

Because what if that day never comes?

What if THIS is the part I’m going to miss someday?

The messy house.

The crazy mornings.

The kids needing me.

The full schedule.

The camp weekends.

The clients.

The noise.

The chaos.

The people.

The life.

My life.

So maybe 00:00 wasn’t some big cosmic message.

I don’t know.

But it felt like one to me.

It felt like a reset.

Like…

Stop.

Look around.

Breathe.

You’re here.

You have things you prayed for.

You have people you love.

You have built things you once didn’t have.

You have survived things you once thought would break you.

And today…

you get another day.

So this morning I’m trying something different.

Instead of starting my day thinking about everything I still have to do…

I’m starting it with:

Thank you.

Thank you for my messy house.

Thank you for my busy business.

Thank you for the people who trust me.

Thank you for my husband.

Thank you for my kids.

Thank you for the chaos.

Thank you for the things I’ve built.

Thank you for the things I’m still building.

And thank you for another day to be here for all of it.

It’s Friday, August 14th.

And apparently I needed 00:00 this morning.

Maybe somebody else does too. ❤️

What Healing Really Looks Like

One of the biggest misconceptions about healing is that it should feel like constant progress.

We think if we're healing, every day should get a little easier.

But healing doesn't work that way.

Some days you'll feel lighter.

Some days an unexpected memory, a familiar song, a certain place, or a stressful moment can bring emotions rushing back.

That doesn't mean you've gone backwards.

🧠 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰?

Your nervous system is designed to protect you.

When you've lived through grief, trauma, chronic stress, or overwhelming experiences, your brain and body can stay on high alert long after the danger has passed.

Healing isn't convincing yourself that nothing happened.

It's gently teaching your body that this moment is different from the ones that hurt you.

Every time you experience safety, connection, rest, or kindness, your nervous system has another opportunity to learn that it doesn't have to stay in survival mode forever.

🌿 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Take a moment to check in with yourself.

What is one thing you can do today to help your mind, body, or soul feel a little safer?

It doesn't have to be something big.

Sometimes healing begins with the smallest choices.

Whatever you choose today, remember this...

Healing isn't measured by how quickly you move forward.

It's measured by how often you choose not to give up on yourself. 🤍

Healing Begins With Awareness

Most of us don't realize we're living in survival mode.

We just think we're tired.

We think we're anxious because life is busy.

We think we're irritable because we're overwhelmed.

We think we're exhausted because we aren't getting enough sleep.

So we keep pushing ourselves, believing that if we just try harder, we'll finally feel better.

But healing doesn't begin when everything around you changes.

It begins the moment you become aware of what your mind and body have been trying to tell you all along.

You can't change what you don't recognize.

🧠 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰?

Your brain and body are constantly communicating with each other.

Often, your body recognizes stress before your mind does.

That can show up as tight shoulders, headaches, jaw clenching, digestive issues, trouble sleeping, feeling emotionally drained, or always feeling like you have to stay busy.

Many of us become so familiar with these feelings that we stop noticing them.

Awareness is the first step toward change.

Not because you have to fix yourself...

But because you finally begin listening to yourself.

🌿 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Pause for just a moment today.

Without trying to change anything...

Simply notice.

How does your body feel?

How does your mind feel?

What have you been carrying that you've never stopped to acknowledge?

Awareness isn't about judgment.

It's about meeting yourself with honesty and compassion.
