Food for Thought

I'm the type of person who wants to please everyone. Well, I used to be that type of person. It's great to be a nice person who is always reliable and who everyone else counts on to always say yes to pretty much anything. That is, it's great until always saying yes becomes a burden and starts to negatively impact you. If being the reliable person ends up dragging you down and being detrimental to your health, it's not worth it! If you're afraid to say no to your friends then they aren't the types of friends you need to surround yourself with. It's okay to say NO! There comes a point where you have to start putting your needs in front of everyone else's. Don't be a doormat! No one needs that kind of negativity in their life. Instead of trying to please everyone, take your own needs and wants into consideration first. It's not selfish. It's self-care and it's important. There will never be another you, so make sure you take care of yourself...
