My biggest problem in making choi...Ah the choices! My biggest problem in making choices is the fear of letting others down. This is the single most significant thing that prevents me from making the "right" choices for myself. Will my son be psychologically scarred for life if I nap for 2 hours on a weekend instead of spending much-needed time with him? Will my husband be mad if I leave the dishes in the sink (for him to wash) and go to bed earlier than usual at night? Will my friends roll their eyes if I cancel yet another Friday night because I'm completely spent from the week's activities? It would be so much easier to make choices pertaining to my life if I lived in a cilo. Unfortunately, the people I need the most for my sanity are the ones that make those choices that much harder. I try very hard to be selfish because it's no fun for my husband, son or family and friends to see me sick and that's how I justify those "selfish" choices but it's still something I struggle with everyday.Sadaf Shaikhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02374844486026161672noreply@blogger.com
