I chose this statement because it is one that I am really trying to follow. Too much time is spent doing what other people think would be good for you. I know that I can be guilty of saying yes to things when I really should have said no. Either I don’t have the time or I say yes to too many things and then have to deal with the consequences. Now, though, I really need to focus on my health and my recovery as that takes priority. So lately I’ve been making decisions based on what is best for me. I have plans for 2016; things that I am going to do that will help me and my future. Some of it will benefit the blog, but most of it is for the benefit of my health and my eventual return to work. I’m excited about it and when the time is right I will share more about my plans here on the blog š
Thanks for reading!

Thanks Preeti!!
Saying no is going on my list for next year too! Im horrible about it.
Hi Kim, saying no is hard for me as well, but it’s something that I am working on!
That’s wonderful. I often forget about myself because I’m so focused on the doing stuff part. Our health is really the most important thing.
I know, it can be so hard to focus on ourselves sometimes

Oh yeah, this needs to be my mantra too! I’ve said yes to too much and felt over whelmed. So I’ve really become picky about things I do, it’s helped though!
