We make time for everybody…. their emergencies, their emotions, their needs, wants, and priorities.
Some of us will only slow down if illness takes us down. We secretly smile from our sick bed because we finally have a reason… the right to say, “No.”
Yeah, we know we’re supposed to take better care of ourselves. Yeah, we know that we need to set better boundaries. But you know what nobody tells you? It’s hard as hell to set and hold boundaries when you’re exhausted.
It’s easy when you’re refreshed and restored to say, “Hey, buddy. No. I’m not doing that.” But when you’re tired and you just don’t have the emotional or mental reserve to deal with the pushback or backlash or the unpleasant emotional response of another human, it’s sooo easy to slip back into that default setting… the people pleasing, the saying, “Yes,” when you want to say, “No,” the going along with plans you don’t agree with… The stuff you said you were going to stop doing. The stuff you actually did stop doing….
If this is resonating with you, you are possibly at a point where you need to muster up the extra energy to acknowledge it’s time to start saying, “No,” again. It’s time to get by yourself and regroup. It’s time to put yourself on your schedule, rest, recoop, or even create a plan for how you can just veg out for a few hours.
Don’t wait for illness or some other unfortunate circumstance to come and rescue you. You deserve the you that you offer to everyone else. Be your own your own advocate. Whether it’s 15 minutes or 15 days, pour back into yourself. It’s time.
I understand. I’m at that point right now. I share about it on today’s podcast, along with some helpful information and tips, and of course… storytelling. Hope this helps.
