My Default Should Be No
NO
I’m having PMS this week (it’s day 25 .. three more days to go) and it’s at this time of the month where I think I really over extend myself. I wish I had the balls, and the uncaring-ness, to just tell everyone that my default to do anything at all no matter what it is, is NO.
No I’m not going to do that dog training or that practice. No I’m not going to go to lunch or dinner. No I can’t talk on the phone and I can just barely email (but I can email or IM better than the phone). No I can’t do anything at all whatsoever I have to stay home and hide in my house and close all the windows and doors and blinds and just sit an blog or read blogs or watch TV and eat lots and lots of chocolate!
But I can’t. I don’t know how. I say yes way too much. Somtimes I then change my mind. I am so busy… too busy sometimes. The one thing that I want to do that I don’t seem to ever really get time to do is work on my house. I want to paint my spare bedroom and I have hardly even done the prep work. I guess I just need to make that a priority and tell everyone else No I can’t do anything until my bedroom is finished! Hrmph.
I know what you mean, that time of the month I feel like crap, too. It’s a hard change to make, but you have to take time for yourself. You could even start with, yes, but not right now. Good luck!
Hi Leigh that sounds great! When I was in therapy my therapist told me that it was okay for me to say I will answer, but I have to think about it first. LOL yeah that was something I had to learn too.
