This is one of the few topics that often look simple on the surface, but they are quiet deep and calls for very deep thinking. And for me, I would say this season of life that I'm in at the moment has opened my eyes to a whole lot of things. One of which is that not everything is worth my time. Yea, time is so precious to me now that I can't start wasting it on irrelevant things or discussions.
Also, talking about what's draining me, first I would say is the environment I'm in and secondly is me trying to be there for everyone. Yea, the environment I'm in is limiting me from doing a lot of things, some of which I tried to do but at the end of the day got me drained totally, also about being there for everyone, I'm the type who love to help, and most times it is not even money related, what did I even have 😂, but then I do try my best to assist, to listen, to show up, to support and all whenever the need arises, I rarely say no. It is not as if it is a bad thing to do, but then I've come to realize that I could say no to some things too, yes. Most of the time I'm giving away can as well be used to learn or do something for myself, for my future.
I still have a very long way to go, I have dreams, I have goals, and I have aspirations and you will agree with me that all of these things needs my attention and time too. Yet, there are times I plan on doing something for myself and at the end of the day find myself attending to the needs of others, by the time I decide to attend to me, I'm exhausted already.
I'm not aiming to be rich overnight, nah, that's even unrealistic. But I just want to learn to be there for me too. I want to prioritize myself as well. I matter too. I want to spend time doing things for myself, learning, building, creating, growing and improving on my skills and myself. Not as if I'm doing away with helping people, nah, but this time I will be doing it differently, in that it will not leave me empty or exhausted.
Saying no shouldn't be that big of an issue. It is most time healthier than to say yes. So, it is very important to set boundaries, that I'm doing already. Not that I'm selfish, nah, and I won't be, it's just that I have my limit and my energy at this point in time should be spent wisely else my future self will ask me questions.
In six months time, I want to look back and see very obvious progress in my life, I think that is enough for me as a victory. The biggest transition and choice may not always be changing who you're, it might just be you changing how you protect the person you're becoming.
