It's a tough one... How do we say no to someone, how do we allow ourselves to have space in our diaries without filling it as if it's a dangerous hole rather than a beautiful sigh... Several folk on a course i was running today talked about spreading themselves too thin, taking on too many new things, feeling stressed. Why do we even feel the need to justify, to apologise, to excuse ourselves?
I will continue to work on this, hopefully gently, lovingly...until i can say "i am choosing not to do this", "i am unavailable", "i would love to do this. What would you like me to drop to make space for it?"!!!!
If i run myself into the ground in order to please everyone else am i being true to myself? Am i growing as a person? And what about those i love and who love me? What space do i create for them?
Friends and family and my darling Gail - walk with me towards the space and bring your sign with you - let's be unavailable to duty and available to love...
