I don't have TIME

Posted by Admin on February 5, 2013 at 10:55 AM

I feel like everyone is yelling at me to make more time for them, but I honestly just can't.  I have work, doctor's appointments, autism services, presentations and more.  People start asking me "Well, do you not want to do this?" and it makes me so frustrated.  It's not that I don't WANT to do these things, it's that I can't help the fact that there aren't more than 24 hours in a day.  I don't want to give up ANYTHING, and the fact that people are asking me to choose makes things even more difficult.  I need to make more money, I need to stay healthy, I need the autism services, and I need them ALL to make sure my life keeps moving forward.  How can I choose what's best for me if what's best for me is NOT making a choice?

This a common problem for allot of people, and i myself had allot of problems with it in the past, how i solved it is quite simple, these people want you to help them, and ofcourse you want to help them, but they have no right whatsoever to force a choice out of you, so take a step back, look at it and think, well where lie my priorities and does this fit within them, and remeber saying no isnt a bad thing, everybody says no from time to time, and its important to have some time for yourself, but when saying no always remeber to do it in a nice way for example: thanks for the offer but im truly busy at the moment, but still im intrested, do you have ..... where i can reach you, by doing this you take the initiave in answering, cause you can call them when you have time.
Hope i helped :)
