Stop doing everything

While you’re getting reacquainted with the word “no,” you should also put your desire to do all and be all in check. It’s unrealistic and will often leave your feeling burned out and unappreciated. Do what you can, but it’s also okay to step back and allow others to pick up some of the slack. You are not a robot, you’re a human being with limitations just like everyone else.
