Sure, a lot of us make commitments because we care but we also have the tenancy to say yes to others out of fear of looking bad and wanting to look good. However saying yes all the time to make others happy can be a huge burden on your time and what you are truly committed to. I bring this up subject up as I recognize the "people pleaser" within myself along with many women in my life and understand how difficult it can be to say no.
I find most women want to help and please others all the time. I know I do. It's our nature after all, but it's important we embrace our inner queen. We must recognize our realm and what we are committed to and stand firm. The more we do this with love and grace the more balanced our world will become. This also means honoring yourself. Honor your health, creativity and solitude along with the many other things that are important in your life. Remember to breathe and enjoy it all. If you can't do that it's time to check in.
Having a full plate is beautiful but spreading oneself too thin can be stressful not only on you but others.
When checking in ask yourself these questions...
Be honest.
Is everything I'm doing aligned with my highest intention?
Am I able to fully give my attention to that which I'm doing?
At the end of the day do I feel full or empty?
Do the people I surround myself with lift me up or bring me down?
