I Need to Learn to Say No

Please tell me it's really Friday and not just Thursday. I hate to wish the days away, but this has been a long week. Thankfully, it's a step back week for workouts because work has been bat shit crazy. I cut my workouts back this week in hopes of getting some rest and feeling refreshed, but it's Thursday and I find myself exhausted and cranky.

I'm mostly to blame though. My problem? I don't know how to say no. I am the queen of wanting to do everything and letting myself getting talked into everything. It's one of the things I love most about myself, but also one of the traits that will end to my downfall.

My job is insane right now. Seriously insane. I've allowed myself to get pulled into helping out with way too many events that end up getting ultimately getting dumped on me, and I am being spread too thin. I'm going to need to focus on myself more so I don't go bat shit insane.

I hate saying no to people when they ask for help, so much so that I run myself ragged in an attempt to please everyone. What ends up happening is I burn out, go crazy, and end up ditching things for a week or so in order to get my sanity back. If I just said no in the first place, I'd feel better and wouldn't end up looking crazy when I have a panic attack over my life.

I need to learn to say “I just can’t right now … my plate is overloaded as it is.”

Sorry this post is so whiny, but my husband has to be tired of hearing me bitch to him, so I'm whining to you all :). Back to my normal training talk tomorrow...when it's really Friday!!
