  • Hi there, and welcome to Radio Headspace.

  • It's Dora here.

  • So there was a time not too long ago when I was feeling stretched a little thin.

  • You know, that feeling when your calendar looks more like a game of Tetris than a schedule.

  • That was me.

  • In the middle of all of that,

  • I had gotten an email from someone at work asking

  • if I was willing to jump into a last-minute project.

  • And it's the kind of project that would have normally lit me up, but instead I just felt heavy.

  • Old me would have said yes in two seconds flat.

  • I'd be flattered, grateful to be thought of.

  • But that day I paused, took a deep breath, and replied with something simple.

  • Thanks so much for thinking of me, but I'm at capacity right now,

  • and I won't be able to take this on.

  • And then I sent it.

  • No over-explaining, no long apology.

  • No, maybe if things change next week.
