Reframing “obligations” into empowered choices.
“Obligation” is a heavy duty word. You can hardly squeeze a quarter cup of vitality from it. By it’s very nature, it restrains, binds, and requires obedience. Energetically, “obligation” blows. Strike “obligation”, insert: “choice”. You’ve got free will. All of it is a choice.

And then it gets fuller, and the time has come, or there’s a curve-ball, and things get well n’ truly wild. And you could say, because it’s your right to, that you’re feeling “overwhelmed”.
