secret super-hero's or how to say no and not feel guilty

As women we think we have to do absolutely everything, but I learned very important words: they are "no" and "I need you to help me" These words are you friends, they want you to do 1-2 things for yourself and not please everyone.

As women we nurture, its who we are... the behind the scenes, secret super-hero fixers of the world, but I think we take that to a point that we have lost the ability to nurture ourselves.

It is difficult to decide when and where to use these magical words, it has been a challenge for me... and said right, everyone is mostly understanding of it.

For me I had to prioritize, and much like a food diary you have to make important choices, and some things just have to fall off. It is hard but it has saved my life in many ways, I feel better, and the guilt of saying "no" or "not now" or "help me" has mostly gone away (not nearly as debilitating) because I know what I am saying yes to.
