…But it's just where do I have room to speak into the dynamic? Where can I create some breathing room so that I can say yes to my commitments and responsibilities in a more sustainable way, so that I have recovered between stressors, so that I have rested and been refueled?…Do I have white space or do I feel so rushed, hurried, programmed and scheduled that there's not even time to sit down or to think, or to reflect or to play or to rest? And is that how you want to live?…

Many times the asks for our time are greater than maybe what we really have to give. And in that we're acknowledging some degree of having limits. As human beings, we are all capable of giving so much and doing so much. But sometimes we do need to rest, sometimes we do need to regroup. And so if part of the state of overwhelm is coming from a state of frenzy… “I don't have time because I'm never home,” then please consider looking at your calendar.
