Exercise
your options! There are certain things and certain people that you
don’t have to deal with. You allow yourself to deal with them when you
really don’t have to. At the end of the day, we have the power of
choice. But many times, we give it away by not creating the boundaries
that allow us to take care of ourselves. We allow ourselves to be
stressed out by people who create unnecessary drama or headaches when we
have the power to ignore the behavior and say "I don’t have to deal
with this or with you...this is optional."
It may be friends,
a spouse or significant other, co-workers, family members including
children, or people who act out in negative ways. Remember to exercise
your options. Don't get stressed out, and don't rent space in your
mind to crazy, rude, or demanding people. Decide what is optional,
necessary, or mandatory in your life. You deserve! ~ Les Brown
