There is always something that can give.

It may be your health.
It could be your sleep.
Or your peace.
Or it could be your sanity.

But it doesn’t have to be those either.

I hit a breaking point tonight.

I have a lot of mentally & emotionally weight I am carrying in my responsibilities and as a mother this past week or two.
It is all good and I’m good.
I’m happy to be able to do what I am doing for all these people I care so much about.
And it has been so good. I have felt good.

But tonight I felt the weight.
And it was too heavy to hold on my own.

I called my mom.
First, she told me to drop something, anything.. at least just one thing to lighten my load even the slightest.
I told her there was nothing I could drop.

So she talked with me about my weight I feel.
And she turned me to God, to my faith.

And then as we talked, it hit me.
I knew what I needed to drop.

But I questioned it for just a split second.

It was good. Why would dropping that be good??
I had just set a 30 day commitment of goals with my sisters and we had JUST started.

I was on day 2.
And it was too much.
EVEN though they were great  (and simple, I might add) goals.
They had to go.

So I texted my sisters immediately and explained.
It didn’t solve everything,
Or make all the weight go away.

But I felt RELIEF.

So much.
Even though they were good things.
They were not good for me right now.
They needed to be let go of for now and set aside for another time.

Sometimes good things, even great things, are not the best things for you.
At least not at this time.

So try to listen to yourself.
Notice the stress, anxiety, or weight it places on you
and ask yourself “can this be dropped?”
and follow it up with “Is that true?”
If both are yes, great.
IF both are no, great.
You know what to do.

If the answers are different (yes and no/no and yes) then, reevaluate.
It might need to go.

Drop it.
Feel that relief, that I felt tonight.

It will help you do that much better as a mom and as a person.
It’s worth it.
