I feel tired. Physically, well kind of. But the tired I am talking about is more mental and emotional. I feel exhausted by the seemingly constant drum of things to do, stuff to take care of, lists to check off, appointments to keep, balls to keep in the air…all in an effort to get it all done and satisfy those around me. And I’m just tired.

Well, contrary to my first thought…it has nothing to do with anyone else but me. If I feel exhausted it’s because of me. Period. It feels better just to write that down. It really is in my own power to release myself from this self-imposed exhaustion.

So, what now? Stop overscheduling yourself. Stop trying to solve everything all of the time. Loosen up a bit. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Stay in your lane and be happy about where you are.

I just needed this reminder. Maybe you needed it too.
Deep breath…and one more. There.
