The Overflowing Glass — Guided Reflection Template
A visual reflection tool with prompts and writing space
Free
The Overflowing Glass is a guided reflection template designed to help you understand emotional overwhelm as accumulation rather than failure.
Using a simple and intuitive visual metaphor, this template explains how emotions such as anger, irritability, or withdrawal often appear only after many layers of emotional, mental, and physical load have built up over time.
This is not a poster or a decorative print.
It is an interactive reflection tool that combines:
visual explanation
guided reflection prompts
and open writing spaces
so you can actively engage with the content and adapt it to your own life circumstances.
The template invites you to explore what has been filling your “glass” — emotional fatigue, mental load, relationships, postponed needs, body changes, and life context — and to reflect on what can be tended to before it overflows.
Designed to be revisited whenever life feels heavy, this resource supports awareness, clarity, and self-understanding without judgment or pressure.
This PDF document is designed for flexible use — on a tablet, printed, or used digitally — and helps you reflect on emotional load, stress accumulation, and inner limits in a clear and accessible way.
