Is happy to report that Im learning to tighten boundaries and say no more often. I caught myself earlier this year in the worst stress that Ive ever experienced simply from taking on too much. I am a working wife, mother and daughter of an elderly mom. I enjoy helping people so when a client or a friend has a crisis, I tend to jump right in when asked. I am learning to help without allowing other peoples crisis situations dictate when and how. I now quit working at 8PM, no matter whether the file is finished or not. I have set perimeters on when I will read and answer emails and texts. I go to bed at a reasonable time with a book or magazine and usually only read a few pages before I am sleepy enough to turn out the light and my rest has improved considerably. Sometimes we are so busy in the cycle of life that its hard to step back and see how these simple changes reduce stress drastically. I couldnt see it for a long time but better late than never. As a former business manager once said were not selling oxygen here! No body is going to die if this doesnt get accomplished today. Of course we were not health care professionals lol
