Ever feel guilty for resting or taking a break?
I have often felt that way knowing good and well I needed to rest. I felt like was juggling ten plates at once and hoping and praying none of them crash. That’s what overwhelm feels like. Work, family, bills, errands, life… all spinning at once. And somehow, you’re supposed to smile through it and keep it moving. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to keep every plate in the air. It’s okay to set one or all of them down. It’s okay to pause for a while. Slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. It means you’re giving yourself space to breathe, recharge and reset. When was the last time you gave yourself permission to pause? Share it below. Your story might give someone else the courage to take a break too.
