I was listening to a podcast recently - I can't remember which one - and it said that truly looking after yourself, truly getting what you want from life, isn't about learning to say no to what you don't want to do (that's the easy bit), it's learning to say no to the things you do want to do. I think there's a lot of wisdom in that.
Heh, interesting. I think it depends where you are on the people pleasing scale/line - I used to find it very easy to say no to things I wanted to do, sort of out of necessity, as I filled my time with saying yes to so many things I didn't want to do. But yes, now I do have the issue that there's just so much that I want to do and I have to learn to say no. It is hard, but it IS self-care.
