Reflect on the following questions, using a journal or a sheet of paper. What is your load-bearing capacity? You can define this however makes the most sense to you – either a number of hours or the number of responsibilities you can comfortably commit to without feeling overwhelmed. In which areas of your life or responsibilities are you overfunctioning? What are the signs that you are doing so? What might you need to release in order to operate within your limitations?
