Negotiate your commitments.

⚠️ These past few weeks I’ve focused on NOT committing to things because of feeling obligated ❗️This used to have me feeling so GUILTY and STRESSED out 🗣These types of commitments sometimes create internal dead weight because I feel obligated to say “No, I have...” instead of just saying NO with no explanation. That’s a response. 🗣WE shouldn’t feel bad about trading our TIME that we are never going to get back. The reality is sometimes we feel the need to appease. 🗣Often times I’m caught off guard, but learning to tell others “I’ll get back with you” or “Thank you for thinking me, but I can’t at the moment” is completely appropriate “Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.” -Brene Brown ✅Re-negotiate your commitments to keep yourself ALIGNED ✅Choose discomfort over resentment: it’s critical for your well-being
