Exactly this.
Something I really struggle with is the feeling of never being caught up.
If I’m on top of my emails, I’m behind on the laundry. If I pause everything to spend quality time with my family, I often have to stay up super late to get my paid work done. If I’m sick for a day or take time off to rest and reset for the sake of my mental health, all of my responsibilities pile on top of each other and there’s more for me to tackle when I get back to it.
It’s overwhelming. I feel like I’m always in a hamster wheel going around and around but never getting much of anywhere at all.
Maybe someone else out there feels this way too—and if it’s you, I want you to know you’re not alone.
I don’t have the answer, but I try to remind myself that the overwhelm I feel is a direct result of the overwhelming BLESSINGS I’ve been given.
It doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot on my plate, but it does help me change my perspective. How lucky I am to have so many things in my life that matter. ❤
