Are there any things you have to say no?
Dimension: Inspiration for everyday life

If that is the case—do it. Without hesitation. A day has only 24 hours, and a week has seven days. And if your schedule of work, duties, and leisure exceeds this capacity, you are heading toward collapse 🥴, explosion 💥, overload 🤬—simply because you will try to accomplish and handle something that just cannot be accomplished or handled.
It’s the principle of a suitcase for vacation: you can’t close it because you want to take so many things that just don’t fit inside. And so logically, you have to leave something at home. You close the suitcase, set off for your well-deserved vacation, but at home remains, for example, a teddy bear 🧸 that your children 👨👩👧👦 really, REALLY wanted to take with them. Okay, but a teddy bear isn’t a sweater or hoodie that keeps you warm, and so it simply had to come out of the suitcase.
And so it is with your schedule 📅. Devote your time ⌚ to important things, give yourself rest and fun as well, and to the less essential things in your life simply say: NO! ✋
Ten-second mini-prayer:
"God, I thank You that with the help of intuition I can always recognize what is important for me, and what I can peacefully let go of, so that I do not become overwhelmed.
Thanks to this, I will always have enough energy 🔋 🔋 🔋 and enthusiasm 😜 and thus avoid feelings of tiredness and exhaustion. 📉
With gratitude in my heart toward You, Amen."
