Self Care Monday-not me

 Repeat after me: That's not my responsibility.

I don't mean taking out the trash or filling the dishwasher because the person who "normally" does it is sick or tired or not there or asked you to for God's sake. Or filling in for a co-worker who's out sick. That's not what this is about at all. 

No, I mean making sure all those people in your life who rely on you do so for the right reasons. Not because you have time during your day and they're in sudden desperate need of you to run their errands. Not because you've got the money and they suddenly need a new car or want that money to start a new business without any sort of plan, let alone a solid one.

People (should) rely on you because they love you and care for your well-being and are grateful for the held you do provide without taking advantage. Not because of what you can do for them because they think you should do it for them.
