I kept pretending I was fine.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Emotional bandwidth is real. You can’t keep pouring into others while running on empty.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Lately, I’ve been practicing:⁣ ⁣ Saying “let me get back to you” instead of impulsively committing.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Giving myself permission to rest without guilt.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Protecting my peace like it’s my most valuable asset—because it is.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ If you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, let this be your nudge:⁣ ⁣ Stop saying ‘yes’ out of guilt.⁣ Start saying ‘no’ out of self-respect.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I know - I've been there, hanging on hoping nothing falls through the cracks and trying to do it all.⁣ ⁣ When was the last time you checked in with your emotional bandwidth? ⁣ ⁣ No guilt, just a reality check-in with where you are at. We can't keep pretending we are fine and keep "doing it all".
