You can be a good person, with a good heart, a kind soul, and still say “no.”

My favourite therapist says we need to have our own backs in order to properly care for our health, happiness and well-being. Having our own backs means deciding what is best for us at any given moment, despite duty and obligation. He says if we have the time and energy and we choose to do something, knowingly, out of duty and obligation, fair enough. But we should be mindful of putting others before our own important needs. He says this will give us a deeper physical/mental/emotional/spiritual capability and others tend to adjust better than we might imagine. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
