My Limitations

One of the hardest things for me to learn was making sure I didn't take on more than I could handle. If stress is such a huge catalyst, I knew I had to be very careful. It was difficult at first to say no to requests from others but it was the only way I could even cope with the demands of being a mom. As always, being a mom was my first priority. I felt guilty all the time from saying no but as the years have gone by and there are a lot of times I can say yes, I also no my limitations and cannot risk taking on too much and going into overload and then bringing on another crash.
