You are always aware of the layers of responsibility
That you carry on your shoulders at work and for your family
You never want to let anyone down by being negligent
Of how you are perceived, you are always cognizant
In pleasing everyone you stretch yourself too thin
There is that one aspect left where you do not win-
You forget that you owe yourself something too
There are actions that you must take just for you…
*
Towards yourself, you have some obligations
You owe yourself adequate time for rest and relaxation
You owe it to yourself to be authentic in every way
You owe yourself the willingness to walk away
From a situation where you are asked to
Compromise your ethical stance, your moral values
You owe yourself the ability to say no to a request without
Explaining yourself if you have any doubt..
*
You are trying to be diligent in everything you do
Just don’t forget that you are a priority too..

It is mostly women who do this…not so much men. Why is that?
