Ever get that worn out feeling? Stretched too thin, like butter scraped over too much bread (Bilbo Baggins, Fellowship of the Ring J.R.Tolkien quote right there, you're welcome).
Do you know the cure? The answer is no. No, seriously, you have to learn how to say "no". Keeping your sanity is worth missing out on an event, or whatever it is that is lining your dance card. When you feel overwhelmed by all the things that need to get done, its time to start prioritizing. Some things just have to be done (eat, for eg.) and some can wait (for me, its usually housework).
Everyone's stress load is different, so it is important for your mental and physical health to not be overloaded. Yes, sometimes there is nothing you can do about a full dance card, but take at least 5 minutes for yourself on those days, meditate, pray, breathe, listen to soothing music, whatever makes you feel re-energized.
Remember always that you are worth it! <3
By the way, I had to use da Google to figure out how to put the unequal sign (≠) in there. Da Google knows all!
