The Obstacle of Control
When I encounter many daily obstacles that are ever present, I must always be aware of the fact that I am ultimately in control of my time and energies. Many people want a piece of my time and I need to prudently pick and choose and prioritize my day(s). It is too easy to get caught up into others needs and wants.
I really got a lot of help with the concept that I am the one that owns my time. I am always jumping as soon as someone needs something professionally as well as personally. I realize now how this has been burning me out. I understand more the concept of owning my own time and am willing to give it a try at work, home and school.
Cheryl, Sounds like this understanding is a great step in the right direction. It's nice to invest a little time in you. It can help get you energized and better oriented to help others manage through the challenges they face.

I truly agree with your thoughts Cheryl. Owning your own time is so important especially trying to balance work and home life.
