"When life gets you down, do you wanna know what you’ve gotta do? Just keep swimming."
- Dory, Finding Nemo

We all have those days when it feels like life is pulling us under. Maybe it’s a setback at work, a tough conversation, or a moment where everything just seems to pile up. In those times, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, to wonder if things will ever look up. But there’s a simple phrase that can help us keep going: Just keep swimming.

It sounds almost too simple, doesn’t it? But sometimes, that’s exactly what we need—a reminder to take things one small step at a time. When we’re overwhelmed, thinking about the big picture can add to the stress. But breaking things down, focusing just on the next tiny stroke forward, is how we keep moving even in choppy waters.

Each little “swim” you take, each step, helps you build momentum. The beauty of this approach is that it doesn’t demand big wins every day. It’s not about perfect solutions or having it all figured out; it’s about persistence. Even if you’re not making giant leaps, you’re still moving forward. And that’s what counts.

So, when life feels heavy, remember: you don’t have to see the whole path right now. Just keep swimming through today. Even the tiniest strokes add up over time. Keep going, one small movement at a time, and trust that eventually, you’ll find yourself in calmer, clearer waters.
