I have quite an intimate confession to make:
As most of you know, I have struggled with my health over the past eight years, almost dying (literally dying) of overwork 4 times, 2 in the past two years.
I developed dermatitis, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, eczema & psoriasis.

This morning, I realized (again) just how much more I can do now that I am healthy again, and how important taking care of my health is for my own well-being. I ran my fingers through my skin this morning and the brittleness is not there anymore. I don't feel scratchy, nor tired.
One healthy response that my brain and my body have taken this year (thanks to the COVID 19 pandemic) is that, as soon as I feel overwhelmed and over-stressed, I start cancelling every single commitment I know I can't make.
It's healthy for me, and my health is MY priority.

But this has become automatic.
I no longer ponder "what if I move my schedule in this or that way".
I recognise that I am going to be over-extended, and as soon as my brain sees the red light, I start sending emails cancelling everything.
I'm proud of myself for doing this.
