Unravel To Exhale

We place a lot of pressure squarely on our shoulders 
Raising the bar on repeat feels like carrying boulders 

Stakes set stubbornly high but can lower to find a clue 
By broadening out our view to see the strain is undue

Realize the rigor we apply isn't required in every situation
Unwinding tension that was a figment of our imagination
