The Yes Pattern I Am Changing:
Agreeing too quickly before considering my energy, existing commitments and what I can realistically manage.
I Am No Longer Saying Yes Automatically To:
Requests that can wait or that would stretch me beyond my capacity simply because I feel uncomfortable disappointing someone.
My New Response:
"Let me check what I can manage before I commit." When necessary, I will say, "I cannot manage that today."
My Identity Statement:
I AM someone who cares for others while respecting my own needs and limits.
Today I proved:
I AM someone who protects my time and energy because I prioritized my granddaughter's health and allowed other tasks to wait. I recognised that an unexpected caregiving need calls for a change of plans and more realistic expectations of myself. 🩷
