How do you suggest telling people in your life that you're taking a step back? Especially professionally, because I have a few volunteer organizations I work with that I'd like to find a way to reduce my commitment to.
Logically, I know I should just say that I'm taking more time for myself but then I struggle with the feeling that I'm not living up to expectations. I have this image in my head of myself being super competent and I feel like I'm not meeting my own standards when I get stressed out by my responsibilities and refuse work or don't volunteer.
