- The 1 Minute Question

- Are you too available?
Are you too available?
Warning - it may hurt a little, especially for empathic, amazing people who love to help others:
The more available you are, the less you are valued
Today’s question is brought to you by Mood:
These cannabis gummies keep selling out. Just 1 can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!
It's human nature - people cherish rare commodities.
But stay with me, this isn't to encourage playing games or being elusive.
The wisdom here is learning to value your own time and attention.

Don't forget that your energy and time are currency.
The most valuable one.
Don't give it away so often if it's not something you truly enjoy doing and fill you up with energy, or otherwise, you will be a barefoot shoemaker.
Ask yourself:
"What areas of over-availability drain rather than fill me up? How can I find a balance between being present for others while honoring my own needs?"
You deserve to be valued for exactly who you are.
May we all find healthy boundaries.
