By not wanting someone to go unseen, unheard, and seemingly helpless we take on more for them so they can be happy. But constantly taking on other's responsibilities and not asking for help in return is stressing you out.

You're not overwhelmed because you have too much to do, you're overwhelmed because you keep saying yes to things your nervous system can't handle. Taking on more and more isn't doing anything but causing you doom scrolling behavior to look more inviting because what do you mean I've already worked 8 hours and I'm not even halfway through my own project much less two of oy co-workers?!

Being able to say NO is not a luxury. Being able to politely say no AND KEEP THE BOUNDARY is 100% necessary in keeping your physical, mental, and emotional sanity.

No is not a bad word. It absolutely helps us stay healthy. When we find the people who support us, they don't take the word "no" offensively. They appreciate your honesty and willingness to help them when you are absolutely capable of doing so.

If you are looking for a group of like minded women who are ready to reconnect with themselves and step into the version they know they are meant to be, our Facebook Community is for you.
