When I first started with 448, I kept thinking I had to do more, help more, like anything less meant I wasn't trying hard enough. Turns out that mindset burns you out fast, a few sessions in and you start wanting to quit.
Took a while to realise volunteering was never about who does the most or lasts the longest. It's about doing what you can within your own limits, resting when tired, not pushing through just to prove something. That's not laziness, it's what keeps you going long-term.
Turns out pacing yourself isn't holding back, it's the smarter way to stay committed. Because showing up consistently is what actually makes a difference.
Kind of applies to life outside volunteering too, you don't have to run yourself into the ground to call it effort โจ Let's all pace ourselves, together.
