You're Carrying Too Much That Was Never Yours

Some of the pressure you feel isn’t even yours to hold. It’s time to put it down.

You wake up already tired.

Not because you worked hard yesterday.
But because you’re carrying things you never chose to hold:

• Expectations that weren’t yours.

• Guilt that wasn’t earned.

• Pressure to be more, do more, fix more—for everyone.

And you wonder why you're exhausted.

But the Stoics would say:

Not everything that lands on your shoulders belongs in your soul.

Let’s unpack this.
Let’s put some of it down.
