Fear, Anger and Resentment

Fear: to be afraid or apprehensive.

Anger: a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of antagonism.

Resentment: a feeling of indignant displeasure or persistent ill will at something regarded as a wrong, insult, or injury.

I have to stop being afraid to take care of myself.  I am always trying to make sure everyone else is taken care of.  Truth is, I need to be taken care of too.  I have needs, wants, goals AND limits.  I have to set better boundaries for myself and my time.  I want to be able to keep my eating habits under control.  The only way to truly do this is to set better boundaries and stick to them.

I need to say no more often to people and stop feeling sorry about it.  I didn't cause the situation for the person to ask for help, so it's not my fault and I don't need to feel guilty about it.  Every time I choose to say yes to someone when I really shouldn't leads to anger and then resentment.  I start to burden myself by saying yes and then get stressed about it.  I am more important than anything someone could ask of me, if I am not 100%, then I am not really of any use.

I have made the decision to be more courageous and "just say no".
