Some pressure is a weight to lift. Some is a weight to set down. Learn to tell which.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Not all pressure is training. Some of it builds you, because it is attached to something you chose and will be glad to have done. Some is load you picked up by accident, from a comparison, an expectation nobody actually stated, a thing you agreed to without wanting it. The first kind is worth carrying and the second is worth putting down.

List what is on you right now and mark each item with whose it is. Anything that turns out to be nobody’s requirement can go. For the rest, decide what it is for, because load with a purpose is a very different weight.
