Woman are good at taking on more than they can really handle. We are nurturers by nature and feel like we have to take care of everything and everybody. This causes undo stress in marriages and relationships with your children. We have to learn when enough is enough. NO is not a curse word, it's a word that brings PEACE and BALANCE to your life. You can 't always be available and accessible to everyone. Not only do your family need you but YOU need YOU! We don't even realize when we've lost contact with ourselves. Some of you don't even have a relationship with yourself. Your needs go unmet because you're always trying to meet the needs of others. What about YOU? If you don't take the time to Refresh and Renew YOU, then you will be no good for your family. What about taking a mental-health day and just spending time doing NOTHING? You can go watch a movie, lay on the beach, do some window shopping, read a good book, plant a flower garden or do NOTHING AT ALL.
Don't get caught-up in the rat race of life. Don't allow people to make you feel bad for saying NO and not being available at their every beckoning call. Plan your day. Don't create a To-Do list, create a To-Don't List! De-clutter and Simplify, it's time to Live Life and Live it in PEACE.
People will use you as long as you allow yourself to be used. If you want peace you have to take it by force. It's hard to undo what you've been doing for so long, but for many, if you don't make a change now you're going to wear yourself out. Remember, WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPLE THING!
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
