Responsibility has a way of expanding.
We begin with what belongs to us and quietly gather the needs, concerns, and unfinished work of everyone around us.
What Can I Set Down? is a one-page Small Pause Practice for moments when everything begins to feel like yours to carry. It offers space to name what feels heavy, consider what actually belongs to you, and notice what may be set down for now.
Setting something down is not the same as abandoning it. Sometimes it is how we regain the steadiness to meet it more clearly.
You may find it helpful:
When responsibility feels heavier than usual

When you feel unable to stop thinking about work
When you need to separate care from over-responsibility
