What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?
Say it every time someone wants you to do something that they present, as being for your benefit, but actually is for theirs.
Examples. The extra beer you don’t want to drink, or helping you don’t want to eat, or film that goes on too late.
The Boss who has a high risk strategy but is setting things up so you carry the can, the passenger who urges you to take a risk in traffic.
You get the idea.
But the friend who demands more of you than you want to give – treat him/her with kid gloves. The vulnerable can’t always handle, ‘no’. Take time to give them a break and understand their needs.
Being there for others does us the most good.
Have a good day.
