You want to help everyone but you won’t have enough time. Learn to say no so you can say yes to your own wishes and calm mental health.
Saying no is ok. It is fine. People will find another way.

Both mental and physical health require some commitment, discipline and effort every day.
Ignore or avoid this at your peril.
Get away. Detox from data and technology. Touch some grass. Shut yourself away from the world for 24 hours. Feel what it’s like to appreciate life’s simplicity again.
Say you just got a new job. Toil immediately on how you’ll make this new role an absolute, unmitigated success. Prepare today like you’re starting tomorrow, even if you’re not officially starting for another 73 days.
Even better, begin your transition prep while you’re still interviewing. There’s nothing like preparing when you already feel you’ve got the job.
Success meets the well prepared mind.
Have you ever thought about it? Observe how you spend non-work time. Is it with family? Are you solo?
Reading, writing, watching movies, playing cards, tinkering and socialising are often cited as favourite pastimes.
Drill down into how you spend your time as it’s a useful barometer for life.
Get out, mix it up and enjoy your life.
You can’t change everything all at once. The best you can do is to make progress in your key initiatives every day.
Get a list of them and start watching one per week. Don’t watch drivel. Watch classics and very highly reviewed and rated ones. Life’s too short for drivel.
Either on your own or with someone. Get outdoors and walk for your daily activity. Go for 1-2 hours. Think new thoughts, consider different ideas, think opposite perspectives and just be fine doing this.
The fresh air, exercise and movement as well as the time and space to have many thoughts will make you feel quite amazing.
It’s ok to have a complete nothing day. You don’t have to plan for it. You can simply have one. Maybe even two.
I wouldn’t go for three in a row though.
Enjoy.
