⏰ 4:30 AM, and Mary’s day begins
Mary, a mom of three teenagers, hears her alarm ringing faintly in the distance.
“Am I dreaming?” she wonders, barely awake.
She opens her eyes and stares at the alarm.
It’s 4:30 AM, and she’s already thinking about the long day ahead.
As usual, she’s up to get her kids ready for school and prepare for work.
But today feels different.
➡️ Saturday: Mary worked until 6 pm no rest.
➡️ Sunday: She overslept and missed church.
Instead of resting, she spent the entire day cleaning until 4 pm again, no rest.
Oh, and did I mention Mary is a sales manager at a big company?
Everyone depends on her, both at home and at work.
😩 This Monday morning, as she starts her day:
● She feels like she might just explode.
● She’s completely exhausted.
Facing another long week feels like too much. She starts thinking:
● I’ll call the office and say I’m not feeling well.
● Maybe I should ask for a day off.
We’ve all been there, haven’t we?
But how do we handle it?
Here’s how Mary and you can tackle this:
1️⃣ Take a Break When You Can.
Even a quick 5-minute pause can make a huge difference.
2️⃣ Plan Some “Me” Time.
Make sure to schedule some time just for yourself each week, even if it’s just a quiet cup of tea.
3️⃣ Ask for Help.
You don’t have to do it all alone. Lean on your family, friends, or colleagues when you need to.
📌 Ps. If today feels like too much, take a deep breath. You’ve got this. 💪
