how frequently does the letter "w" appear in:
have you felt a bit defensive lately?
a tad bit “on edge”?
it’s understandable.
you have a lot on your plate, and you’ve been juggling priorities for everybody, not just for yourself.
so, maybe you’re even feeling a bit used–
as though everyone else is just looking out for their own agenda,
and they don’t hesitate to take your assistance for granted.
stop right there.
everyone else is not to blame.
nor are you.
here’s the thing:
until you have your own priorities straight,
until you stand up and protect your space,
other people will assume that you are willing and available.
because you do care, and because you have unclear boundaries, you are willing to accommodate the needs of others.
that’s the sign of a giving heart, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but–
you need time to recoup now.
you need space away from the agendas of others.
you need time to assess your own priorities,
to recover and remember who you are.
there is nothing wrong with that.
take the time that you need.
claim your sovereign right to invest in your values,
to protect your time and your heart from careless invasion.
you decide who enters your space, no one else.
you decide when to let your guard down and when to rest and retire.
your needs are sacred.
your emotions are a barometer of your needs.
honor your needs, first and foremost, and then you can make yourself available to tend to the needs of others.
