The commitment is an added layer of stress. I am always ok once I am there, but getting there just exhausts my mind. I hear ya!Jules@Faithful With a Fewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-65012094118395481582013-01-25T09:29:34.723-05:002013-01-25T09:29:34.723-05:00One of my biggest problem is saying no too!

Then office time and volunteer stuff goes next, and that way I know exactly what I have free. It makes it easier for me to say no - even though I hate to - because I'm not rationalizing any more. It's really just a matter of if I physically have the time or not :)Nunzio Brunohttp://twitter.com/Nunzio_Brunonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-11623098968329445092013-01-24T14:35:28.313-05:002013-01-24T14:35:28.313-05:00Good advice to give yourself time to really examin...Good advice to give yourself time to really examine whether you need to say yes or not. The phrase "Being selfish" has really gotten a bad wrap in our culture. And as woman, the culture dictates that we be the nurturers at all time, even at the detriment to our own well being. Being seen as selfless is the highest goal for a woman and makes you better than all the rest.<br /><br />Sometimes the answer IS to be selfish. You must take care of self first in order to have something of yourself left to give to others. Maybe we should start calling it being Self-full instead?sluggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-76216090445249085022013-01-23T21:10:52.295-05:002013-01-23T21:10:52.295-05:00Sounds like you have a good system in place that w...Sounds like you have a good system in place that works for you. My problem is that I need to commit to some things or my tendency is to always stay home. However, usually when I get out into the activity, I enjoy it. With that being said, I try to not over schedule.Live and Learnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-71699536733172046612013-01-23T19:27:55.927-05:002013-01-23T19:27:55.927-05:00Hello!

Too bad that way too many people want a response "yesterday". I don't seem to have a lot of issue saying I won't go to someplace, since I rarely go out anyway.Tannernoreply@blogger.com
