🌸 It’s Not Multitasking—It’s Mental (Over)Load

You Deserve More Than a Legacy of Exhaustion

👩‍💼 Praised for Holding It All Together...

Women are often applauded for multitasking.
For putting others first.
For keeping everything running—quietly, seamlessly.

Just look at obituaries:
🕊️ “She never thought of herself.”
🕊️ “She always put others before herself.”
🕊️ “She was the glue that held everything together.”

But let’s get real for a moment:

It doesn’t have to be this way.
You deserve more than a legacy of exhaustion.
You deserve to breathe—right now.

💬 “Done is better than perfect.” — Sheryl Sandberg

🧠 That List in Your Head? It’s Not Multitasking

Right now, you might be running through mental tabs like:

• What’s for dinner?

• Who needs what?

• What appointments are coming up?

• What needs restocking, fixing, booking, remembering?

Let’s call it what it is:

Mental load — the invisible juggling act that keeps everything afloat.

We’re praised for being organised, efficient, and caring.
But often, it costs us our peace, our time, our energy.

We notice, we remember, we plan.
And sometimes we ask:

Why does no one else see what I see?

Because:
🔍 The mental load is invisible—unless we name it.
🔄 It remains heavy—unless we share it.

🛑 Boundaries Are Not Selfish

Setting boundaries begins with saying:

“I cannot keep carrying all of this.”

It looks like:

• Expressing what you need

• Asking for support

• Letting go of perfectionism

• Releasing guilt around delegating

💬 “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.” — Anne Lamott

✅ Let your partner in.
✅ Let others step up.
✅ Let the mental load become a shared responsibility.

💐 So this year?
Let someone else organise Mother’s Day—even if you’re not a mum.
You still deserve to be celebrated.
You have done more than enough.

📅 And from here on, plan to share the load all year round.
Because you deserve space to breathe—every single day, not just once a year.

✨ You Don’t Need to Prove Your Value by Doing It All

If you’re ready to:

• Set boundaries

• Meet your own needs

• Rebuild your energy—without guilt
  Then you’re not alone.
