You Work Too Much…or do you?

Okay, real talk.

They keep telling you that you work too much. But my sweet friend, that's not actually the problem.

The problem is you're carrying every single task in your body like a backpack full of bricks—and by 2pm you wonder why you can't think straight.

What's Really Happening

You finish a stressful meeting and immediately jump to the next one. Your nervous system is still carrying the last task. By 2pm, you're scattered and exhausted—not because you worked too much, but because you never gave your body permission to complete.

Here's What to Try Today

Micro-Transition (60-90 seconds):

After your next task—ANY task—stop for 60 seconds.

✅ Take 3 deep breaths ✅ Say out loud or silently: "I'm complete with [that task]. I'm present for [this moment]." ✅ Roll your shoulders. Shake out your hands.

That's it.

You're not working less. You're teaching your nervous system to release instead of accumulate.
