It never ends. Managing the invisible mental load

Does this never-ending to do list leave you feeling overwhelmed? And you sometimes don’t even know where to start? When we experience this, we oftentimes blame ourselves. I just can’t seem to get it all done. I am not good enough.

When the invisible mental load is too much, we are often unable to prioritize and think clear. But the reality is that there are areas where we can let go and instead focus on what matters.

The mental invisible load oftentimes is carried by the mother. The pull between thinking of everything to meet the child’s needs, the husband’s needs, employer’s needs and run the household oftentimes leaves the own needs left behind and leaves us feeling as if we can’t meet everyone else’s expectations either. It leaves us feeling powerless.
