This is so DEEPLY a theme for me this year. I’m trying to train myself to wait at LEAST 24 hours before saying yes or offering my time. Sometimes my ADD brain jumps in first, but I’ll keep trying!
This one resonates with me. Interestingly, I was less aware of this until the pandemic hit. I was ignoring my gut. When we couldn't go anywhere during the pandemic, and the invites stopped, there was a sense of relief that surprised me.
The relief did more than just surprise me. Having that experience continues to influence me now. I no longer ignore my gut. I am better and more respectful to myself in balancing how I handle the invites and requests.

That sounds like a very useful rule and boundary!! Gonna steal it :)
I needed this permission slip to say no today! Thank you.
Consider the permission slip renewable for any future date!!

I'm so glad you had that realization, Linda. The rare silver lining from the pandemic!
