Some days the way to stay regulated is just to take a…pause.
Easier said than done - I know, I KNOW 🥲
True or not though, the fact remains that you have the duty to remind yourself you are not a 24 hour customer service rep for your kid, your clients, your inbox, or whoever else has decided their emergency is now YOUR emergency right this minute.
Put your oxygen mask on first.
Step outside.
Go get the coffee (or matcha idc).
Take the damn PAUSE!
It is my profound regret to inform you: the world does in fact keep spinning when we aren’t there to supervise it.
It is non-negotiable when you’re running a business, working from home, and when you’ve somehow accepted the position of ‘overseer of e v e r y thing’ to protect your own bandwidth.
It is not a luxury.
It is how you stay whole for the ones who’d be lost without you.
Take the pause - or take Dad’s name and pretend you can’t hear anyone calling for someone named mom 👀
And if you ever need a reminder, my inbox is always open and: help is on Zee way ♥️✨
