How to Put Down Things You are Not Supposed to Carry
Mantra for 2023: PUT IT DOWN.
For a lot of us, carrying everyone else's stresses and pain and worries is a way of life.

And aren’t sleeping well…
And feel completely keyed up all the time.

We are trained to look for solutions to people's pain and suffering.
We WANT to make it stop.
We WANT to help.

And now, I'd finally hit a wall. I'd be able to do something for an hour, then I'd have to lay down for the rest of the day.
It. was. AWFUL.
