@katniawatkins: I still sometimes think I should be able to handle more 😅 I’ve built great systems and made soooo many accommodations for myself. And there’s still a little Kermit in a hoodie voice that says, “You shouldn’t need all this” (Fuck that noise tho) 🩷 2 - I can be incredibly productive and still feel like I did nothing 😭 I made it a point to stop using completion as the measurement for whether I had a good day or not this year 💖 🩷 3 - I get overwhelmed by how much depends on me sometimes. Being loved and being responsible for everything are not the same thing! I’ve made progress in this too 🩷 4 - Sometimes the smallest things are what completely take me out 😂 life crisis, I got that. A missing shoe? Replacing key fob battery?? Finding something???? Crash out imminent. These are the things I pay attention to the most because tiny friction compounds fast, and now I’m yelling at the whole house cause I can’t remember my own password. 😂💁‍♀️ 🩷 - 5 I have spent a GOOD amount of my life trying to become more disciplined. Mainly I needed fewer steps, fewer decisions, better support, or permission to do it differently. Wish I learned that earlier. I don’t wanna be superwoman. For a long ass time, I made that was the finish line. Become more capable so I can carry more without complaining. Now… I just wanna carry less. I say all of this to say… Maybe you’re not failing. Maybe parts of your life are asking WAYY too much of you (unnecessarily) We’re allowed to need help, change the system, take the shortcut, use the accommodation, use our community, lower the number of decisions, and make ordinary life easier. Yapping about this daily, so follow along 💖 and if you have no idea where to start, I have so many goodies in my bio just for you 😘
