boundaries

It seems as though this is something I've been trying to improve on forever, but I'm reminded again of my need to set better boundaries. Arranging my priorities and setting limits that will enable me to do what I want to do. I so easily sacrifice what I want to do for what I think I "should do" or what people expect me to do. I have a hard time saying "no" to personal requests, for fear of hurting or disappointing people. But then the day ends with me looking back and feeling blah about how I spent my time.

I don't like that feeling. I don't like the sense that my time, energy, and attention have been hijacked.

It's time for me to start setting clearer boundaries. And to stick to them.

Have you found ways to do this in your own life?
