I realized it has been 2 months since I wrote here and it put into perspective how my days were passing rapidly.

Life has been overwhelming lately and today I realized how bad it is when I could find no motivation to do anything when I got home from work.  My brain just shut down and all I could think about was the list of things I should be doing but how I felt like doing none of them.

All my life I have felt like I have some control of my responsibilities and when I get overwhelmed I feel like I’m failing at having that control.  I know I have a problem with taking on too much and need to learn to say no more often.

“I can do it” has always been me and it’s the satisfaction of seeing the result of someone happy.  At the end of the day though I’m realizing that I’m using other people’s happiness to make me happy where instead I need to be making myself happy by doing things for myself.

When you say ‘Yes’ to others, make sure you are not saying ‘No’ to yourself. -Paulo Coelho
