I just read this and it felt like a kind hug from a friend. You’re right. I don’t need another to-do list! The fact that it’s easy to remember three S words in a row really helps - I especially liked the point on making it sustainable, because there’s no point in doing something you want to keep up long term if it isn’t realistic for your pace!
Love this Sarah! I have such a heart for overwhelmed and burnt out moms, because I was once one too! And sometimes still am lol. It's only through slowing down and really leaning into Jesus and being led by the Holy Spirit and learning to actually surrender, that moved me out of overwhelm. I still struggle with a disregulated nervous system from years of living with stress and undealt with trauma, but I can recognise and cope with it better because I've learnt from my struggles. I love your method!
And that's what I love about both Substack and being a Christian writer aha creative. We cheer each other on because we know there is room for us all! 💕

Thank you so much for this and for taking the time to read this! And yes, I do love a good alliteration haha

I love that we share the same heart and that this brings us together as Christian creatives and not competitors!
