🧠 ONE BIG THOUGHT

What if your burnout isn’t from doing too much—but from holding it all in?

It’s not always the endless caregiving, errands, work stress, or relationship strain that takes us down. Sometimes it’s the silence. The part where you quietly carry everyone else’s needs and forget to let anyone carry yours.

This week, instead of pushing through, try this:
👉 Tell someone what you need (even if it feels awkward)
👉 Let one ball drop (on purpose)
👉 Take 15 minutes to sit somewhere without a screen and just breathe

Sometimes the relief isn’t in getting more done—it’s in letting go of the pressure to be everything to everyone.
