Day 377 || sticking to your guns

https://www.nedratawwab.com/set-boundaries-find-peace

I have always struggled with boundary setting and even though I recognize my people pleasing tendencies now and avoid falling into the same patterns most of the time - I still struggle with saying no to things I like doing. It’s a weird thing - I can say no without explanation to any fucking thing that doesn’t interest me -but I will rework my entire schedule to accommodate anyone and anything if it means getting to do another thing I like doing. 

As you probably know based on some of the more vulnerable moments I have shared the past few days, I have been feeling a bit behind and overwhelmed in general. That said - other than the dog’s medical stuff - the overwhelm that I have been feeling is all things that are 

1. Self inflicted and 

2. Enjoyable tasks for me when I am in a more regulated state of mind. 

Don’t be afraid to analyze the boundaries you have with yourself. Do you go to bed when you want to or do you rebel against you own best interest in an effort to regain a sense of control before bedtime. Do you respect yourself enough to tidy the spaces that you know you work better after tidying?
