The pings. The packed calendar. The endless mental tabs. The feeling that there’s always one more thing.
And sometimes, without realizing it, we add even more pressure ourselves. We overthink. We say yes when we want to say no. We put ourselves at the bottom of the list. We fall out of our routines. We reach for whatever feels easiest in the moment.
You can’t always change what life throws at you. But recognizing how you react to everyday stressors can help you make more intentional choices about how you support yourself.
