Do You Ever Feel Like You Have to Be Everything at Once

Sometimes it feels like we’re expected to juggle work, family, relationships, and still somehow make time for self-care

Do you ever feel pulled in too many directions at once? How do you find balance (or at least try to)?

I feel like that all the time!

I try to prioritize what needs to be done today .

Use my time wisely.

And accept help when offered!

For the most part I feel like I constantly need to be strong or I get criticised or there is someone trying to sneak closer to me and pick me apart..

Sometimes I feel torn between what I want to do and what the obligations are so I try to be sensible and do what I need too but I also take breaks and enjoy that time away from the pressures.

I just keep reminding myself that I am doing my best, everything will eventually get done but my health is important too and if I need to stop or rest, that's ok too.

Agree to all! For me it was talking myself into accepting that it’s ok to say no, to take time (when I could) to do everything or nothing, and to believe that it was earned.

It’s an ongoing struggle but weirdly it’s begun to make me feel empowered a little bit at a time.

yes and it makes me want to rip my ears out and scream, when things get to off balance everything crash’s down it seems.
