The truth is that it can happen. You can get hit with circumstances that almost seem to paralyze you in your tracks. Unfortunately when you get hit with something that is very difficult to work through you may not be able to continue to move forward. However, that does not have to be the case.
Instead, you can learn how to hang onto hope that you will find a happy place again. You want to learn how to go with the flow of every moment.
Let's say that you find out that you are diagnosed with cancer. This is a set of circumstances that could allow you to spiral into a state of self pity and unhappiness. No good can come from that.
You want to get into a state of hope so that your body has the strength to fight the disease. This is not to suggest that you should just slap on a happy face and make your way through life. You want to go with the flow!
Be realistic and put things into perspective. Yes, cancer is a scary disease, but it is not a death sentence. You need to focus on the hope of the medical technologies at your finger tips. You want to go with the flow!
Additionally, when you are going with the flow you find that you start to appreciate everything that you have and not worrying about what you are missing. In tough circumstances like this it is an opportunity to be grateful for the people in your life. To be thankful for what you have in your life. More importantly you can be grateful for the fact that you have an opportunity to live.
While living with cancer can be a challenge, you are still breathing. That means that you should be happy for each morning that you wake up because it is one more morning that you have the opportunity to walk the earth. Yet this can be difficult to do.
It is unrealistic to expect to be perfectly happy each and every day. Keeping in mind that everything in life is temporary can help you to make your way through more difficult moments without losing sight of how lucky you are to even be having those moments. Some lives are cut dramatically short, but yours has not been.
So the next time that you come up against upsetting news try to remember that it is only temporary. You are lucky to be alive. If you can do this you will find yourself significantly more happy. By setting that example of flexibility those around you may learn from your example, and you may inherently help make their lives even better. Go with the flow!

Download the free guide that women drowning in invisible labor are using to reclaim 2+ hours of mental space daily - without waiting for anyone else to notice how much you're carrying.
Research shows women make 35,000 decisions daily while managing invisible work that nobody else sees. Here's what that mental juggling actually looks like...
Tracking doctor appointments, school events, grocery needs, everyone's schedules - that mental tab running 24/7 creates real cognitive exhaustion. Studies show invisible labor causes 40% more mental fatigue than visible tasks.
What's for dinner? Who needs what tomorrow? Did anyone handle that thing? You're making all these micro-decisions while managing everyone's needs - and research shows this decision fatigue is stealing your energy and clarity.
Their schedules, worries, needs, moods - you're holding it all while they move through life unburdened. Data shows this emotional carrying costs women 700+ hours annually in unpaid mental labor nobody recognizes.
Even when you're exhausted, your mind replays tomorrow's logistics and worries about what you forgot. Studies confirm mental load directly disrupts sleep quality - creating a cycle you can't break alone.
They come to you first for every problem, question, and decision. You coordinate, plan, remember, solve - the invisible work keeping everything running. Research shows being the default parent/partner/planner is a primary predictor of burnout.
"Just take a bath" and "practice self-care" ignore that you're managing everyone else's life first. You can't remember when you last had mental space just to breathe. Generic advice was never designed for invisible labor.
This isn't another collection of "just say no" tips that ignore your reality. These are research-backed strategies designed specifically for women drowning in invisible work - practical relief that actually fits your life.
Discover which of the five mental load patterns you're experiencing - from The Drowning Decision-Maker to The Exhausted-And-Guilty-About-It. Research shows personalized strategies work 3x better than generic advice.
Reduce daily decision load by 40% using cognitive offloading techniques designed for real life. Studies show getting those mental tabs out of your head creates immediate measurable relief.
Specific strategies for distributing invisible labor without becoming the manager of the management. Evidence shows even small shifts in mental load distribution create noticeable relief.
Eliminate unnecessary decision points and automate your cognitive load. Research confirms that reducing daily decisions by just 20 items significantly improves mental clarity and energy.
Actual word-for-word phrases for setting boundaries without guilt or conflict. Data shows just one consistent boundary reduces overwhelm and stops you from being everyone's automatic default.
Cut nighttime mental rumination from 45 minutes to under 5 minutes using the Worry Window Technique. Penn State research shows this approach reduces bedtime anxiety by 35% in two weeks.
Stop waiting for someone to notice your invisible work before you get relief. Research shows self-validation is the first step to lightening your mental load - without needing external acknowledgment.
Every strategy in The Mental Load Relief Blueprint is backed by peer-reviewed studies on cognitive overload, emotional labor, and decision fatigue - not trendy wellness advice that ignores your reality.
I'm Herb, founder of Happy Mind Courses. For over a decade, I've researched the psychology of mental overwhelm, decision fatigue, and cognitive load - specifically studying what creates measurable relief for women managing multiple responsibilities and invisible labor nobody else sees.
The Mental Load Relief Blueprint isn't based on personal anecdotes or trendy wellness theories. Every strategy is grounded in peer-reviewed research on invisible labor, decision fatigue, and cognitive overload from leading psychology journals and clinical studies.
These are the same evidence-based techniques that women are using right now to finally get relief from the mental load nobody acknowledges - and reclaim the mental space they deserve without waiting for anyone else to step up.
