WHAT IS YOUR TURNING POINT?
I used to have a terrible time saying no. I thought I had to say yes to everyone; to please everyone in order to be loved; I didn't know I could make decisions based on my own well-being. I didn't know how to take care of myself so that I could present myself in the best light. I was tired, crabby, volatile and a little panicky much of the time. Mostly I wasn't happy because everything felt like a burden. There was getting to be less and less of me. I was anxious. Eventually anxiety turned into panic. One day I had my first full on panic attack and thought it was a heart attack. THIS WAS MY TURNING POINT. Well, maybe about my third turning point. What, my friend, is going to get you going in the other direction? The direction where YOU MATTER? What is your turning point?
It was like quitting smoking. One day I just stopped ignoring myself. It had became unbearable. I wanted to be happy.
