Learning From Mistakes YET?

I do two really big things wrong in life, when they go wrong, they totally screw up my ATTITUDE on life, the way I handle life, and my over all mood. It disgusts me that I haven't figured out yet how to NOT do these things, but I know they aren't wise to do. In fact I usually give out the advice for others, so they can live happier, healthier lives.

1.) I allow others opinions of me, my job, or my work performance to affect me. As if that is WHO I am.

I kill myself, or go into over-drive at work, to handle the busy time periods at work. I also work hard to be the best at what I do. Striving to go above and beyond. So when I told I am the "BIGGEST" problem at my position, I was a bit taken back. My sails trimmed slightly.

2.) I make other people Priorities, when I seem to be an option.

Never, never put yourself second. I have always had trouble with this statement. I want to do for others. But it takes so much out of me to always be thinking of others, doing for other people, and find out, I really don't even matter to them. Take care of yourself first. Keep yourself healthy and balanced, then take care of those around you, that are nearest and dearest. But if you have nothing to give, because you are sick, or drain for lack of care, no one else can help you. Be your own priority, then give to others.

I am back to my amazing self today. I have wonderful friends that I talk to, and keep close, them I make a priority. However, they make sure I make myself one first, ALWAYS.

I will always have to keep reminding myself to slow down and take of me, or just remember to always be my best, no matter what anyone else thinks of what I am doing. Everyone has bad days. I just have to learn not to let them over come me, and become a bad "week", because I am so emotional over it.

Blessed Be,
Cat
