How Do You Do It All?

I am a hot mess, y’all. I don’t know how to manage all my time and responsibilities. I don’t know how to live life effortlessly and let go of control while also keeping level headed and focused. I hustle till Friday, Friday comes and before I know it Sunday night is here and I am deep in dreams about what I forgot to do for my 9-5 or what I dropped the ball on in my 5-9. I know with as busy as I am, I am not as busy as another person * pause and please note that I am not dismissing my struggles because they don’t look like someone else’s. It just helps me put things into perspective.* But, even with the “little” or “lot” that I do have on my plate, sometimes I genuinely feel like I am barely scratching the surface. Barely doing enough to be doing right by the expectations I (and those around me) have for myself. My work expects a lot from me creatively and I love to add value, my creative content community (you guys <3) expect a lot from me and I want to deliver, my family deserves my time and I want to give it, my mental health needs ongoing investment of practice and I want to implement it, my physical health needs constant movement and wholesome meals and I want to serve it, my spirit needs me to pause and pray 5 times a day and I want to answer to it, my friends deserve me reaching out and checking in and I want to honor it.

But, holy crap. I don’t know how to do it all and give it all 100%. I am both depleted and eager. Literally. I want to soar and fly and do it all but then I crash or don’t even take off from anxiety/exhaustion. I don’t know for sure, but I think maybe time management is the answer? I know that little tweaks can make a big difference? I honestly just don’t know what those tweaks are and what they look like on a day to day basis?? Are my goals realistic or are they just too high for me to be able to achieve/balance all in a week’s work? Do you see all these question marks, lol?? Am I stressing you out?!?!?!?!? Sorry, lol.

I gotta keep it real, y’all. This is where I am at right now. You’re welcome to opt out of this convo or dive in and chat with me. This is a safe space and I welcome all thoughts.

With love and light,
