Your commitments to various projects could leave you feeling pulled in many directions today. It might seem as if you have so much on your plate that you are unable to accomplish anything. Perhaps your need to be involved in so many projects may be the result of your desire to please others. Learning to say no and to put your own needs first might help you feel more organized and composed today. Reflecting upon why you have a tendency to commit to so many things, while uncomfortable at first, could help you see the reasons behind your taking on so much. As you begin to look at your internal motives, you might find that you have been putting others' needs before your own. This realization may make turning down others much easier to do.

Putting our own needs first, while at times difficult, is necessary for our sense of well-being. When we have so many things that we are involved in, we are unable to concentrate on one thing. Our lives become scattered, disorganized, and perhaps even fragmented as a result. Setting our priorities, however, allows us to see what we need to achieve our goals. Even though learning to put ourselves first is difficult, in doing so we will be able to establish healthy boundaries for our lives and place our focus on what is most important for our own growth. By committing to yourself today, you will discover what is essential for you to reach your dreams.
