Takeaways

Before replying to someone who makes a request of your time, energy, or resources, which you may feel uncertain about complying with, take a few moments (or up to several days if necessary) to take a personal inventory. This will give you time to determine if a commitment will enhance or detract from your maintenance of harmony and balance. If someone has asked you to do something for them, you may consider replying to them with a statement such as: “Maybe. Let me check my schedule and get back to you on that.” Use this statement until you are able to set healthy limits in the moment. This allows you a buffer of time to quiet yourself and check in as to how you really feel. The goal you are working toward is to be available to others while maintaining your personal energy reserves.

Set healthy internal limits as you are acquainting yourself with the downtime necessary for your own self-care and to meet your existing responsibilities. The goal is to break the cycle of spreading yourself too thin. If a commitment no longer suits you, learn that it’s okay to renegotiate that commitment. People will respect your directness and integrity. And as a result of respecting yourself, you will feel genuinely good about yourself.

Be aware of any underlying thoughts and beliefs that may cause upsetting feelings, which can lead to actions of maladaptive coping and ultimately self-sabotage. Speak to yourself as if you were giving praise to another individual who is doing a great job! Give yourself the same positive messages of encouragement each and every day.

Be your own inner coach and cheerleader. Examples of encouraging messages to tell yourself are: “I am doing a great job,” “I am making progress,” “I love you so much,” “I am so valuable,” “I am growing,” “Let’s keep going,” and “You are doing great.”
