It sounds like you are on the right path to a healthier, happier life. As you know, stress and anxiety affect our mental health, which then affects our physical health. I have been chipping away at the commitments that are not bringing me joy, and the unnecessary stress and obligations and I have allowed in my life. It is a constant battle, but necessary to avoid burnout or worse. For me, it is mostly a mindset change. Allowing myself to let things go (even good things) when I am overcommitted.

This whole article is so relatable and it was such a relief reading about the choices you‘ve made to introduce calm into more and more into your life. I know well how anxiety can catch. Thank you for this- I have taken bigger breaths and feel my shoulders dropping as I leave this comment. 💗
