Pressure can come from all sides and multiple sources. Sharing the weight is one way to live creatively.

Sometimes it’s a mystery to learn how to effectively cope with all the pressures of life in a healthy way.
I’m convinced the best way to navigate the heavy seas of life is to lean into each other. Help each other carry the weight.
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul writes:
“Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.” (Galatians 6.1-3)
Think you aren’t creative? Step into solidarity with someone else; help in carrying the weight of life.
Be forgiving.
Think less of yourself and more of someone else.
You’ll discover you are being creative in finding ways to carry out Christ’s law (by the way, Christ’s law is that we love one another as Jesus has loved us).
I’m hoping, with God’s help, to be more creative than I’ve ever been in living this way.
Less of me; more of Christ.
