DECLUTTERING MENTAL LOAD
The invisible work must go. The mental load—all the invisible planning, remembering, and organizing—is a huge cause of overwhelm for women. It’s the checklist of things that aren't on any list! You deserve mental clarity and space in your head. Let's practice offloading some of that invisible labor so you can breathe.
Offload mental clutter onto paper immediately. The 'Delegate or Delete' List: Spend 15 minutes listing all the 'should dos' floating in your mind (e.g., 'Need to research dentist,' 'Must clean out closet'). For each item, decide: Can I Delegate this to a tool, a partner, or a service? Or can I simply Delete it because it doesn't really matter? Get it out of your head and onto paper.
Mindful Minis
Chew Focus
Chew your food slowly, aiming for 20 chews per bite. This mindfulness practice aids digestion and helps you feel fuller, connecting you to the present moment.
Note Hub
Use a simple list app (like Google Keep or Notes) to store grocery list, password hints, gift ideas, ect… Centralize the small things so you don’t have to remember them all.
Simple Massage
Gently rub your temples and the back of your neck with your fingertips. This simple massage can help ,alleviate tension headaches and relax your mind after a long day of screen time.

Prayer
Lord, thank you for making me a capable woman who does not have to manage everything alone. Help me to choose peace over perfection, and give myself permission to offload the invisible work.
