Don't make yourself too accessible

So its time to stop being so accessible! It’s time to find that perfect balance of being a warm, generous person while taking care of yourself and prioritizing your time.

And when you’re dealing with a limited quantity of anything, you need to plan how you’re going to use that thing to its maximum potential. In other words, it’s time to evaluate your priorities.

So put yourself back on the list of our priorities. You may be surprised to find that giving yourself some time, some sleep, and some attention actually means you have more to share.

Know that you teach people how to treat you. Most people will see how you value yourself and treat you in kind.
