I took a mental health day yesterday. I didn’t look at my computer once.

Our competency prompts dropped on Wednesday at 6 pm, and I haven’t even read them yet. This is my final big academic piece for my masters program.

I am so burnt out.

I am so unsure of what I was ever even thinking, doing this.

I have no idea what it’s going to look like, logistically, for my family, for me to work full-time.

My brain keeps reminding me we have figured it all out, every step of the way, and we will keep figuring it out.

I am not alone in this. I wonder why that still feels so foreign to me?

I thought passing the Praxis and crossing that off my list would feel more monumental. It seems like everything is just falling flat lately.

So I took time to breathe and rest yesterday. Reset my brain and jumpstart my heart.

And it wasn’t enough – but it’s what I could do.
