Day 9: Not Everything Is Yours to Hold

“You are not responsible for the weight of the world. Only for how gently you carry your own soul.” — Walk the Hidden Path

Teaching

When you’re sensitive, you feel it all.

The worry in someone’s voice. The shift in a room. The ripple of the world’s pain pressing in on your skin.

And before long, it feels like you’re carrying too much — but can’t put any of it down.

But here is your permission slip: *Not everything is yours to hold.*

You can care without carrying.

You can be present without being consumed.

Let today be the day you release what’s not yours — not out of coldness, but out of kindness to your own body.

Place your hand over your heart and whisper:

*'This is mine. That is not.'*

Give yourself back the boundary that anxiety blurred.

You were never meant to hold it all.

Just the next breath. Just your own light. That is more than enough.
