Are people too busy with their own stuff to worry about you?
Do you do what you really want?

We talked.

It was evident she was putting her level of importance at 0… she had thought about asking for help in the specific health issue as opposed to what we had started to work on but didn’t want to bother me, she would just struggle through, it wasn’t an important enough case, someone else could benefit from my time, I was busy enough without having to deal with her.

But..

It got me thinking..

She had been making excuses using her health to justify not adressing her needs. Don’t get me wrong, she is struggling physically but we can reduce her load by working together.

STOP it!

Life doesn’t have to be a constant struggle !
Stop deciding for other people if they have time for you or not.

Be brave, love yourself!

And if you really struggle with that.. I can help!
