RE: Ramblings Of A Procrastinator || What To Do About It πŸ’ͺ

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

When it comes to helping out others I am readily available and I am highly motivated, but when it comes to my own projects, which will be beneficial to me in the long run, I tend to take my time and put it off.

This hit so hard because I am just like what is written here. (I guess we're kind of the same) What hinders me from doing my own tasks are favors from the family and relatives that I cannot say a "no" to, also because I don't want them to perceive that I am being disrespectful towards them.

You know not everyone in the family also thinks about you and the things that you want to do and achieve for yourself. And that cycle... I would say "abuse" ... of receiving favors which I cannot turn down has resulted into them perceiving me as someone who doesn't have anything important to do. You can say this is my hate to every one of them who treats me like that. But you know I still choose to endure it all and focus all the time I can to encourage myself to do better. So that in time, I can be not that person they used to treat me as that.

Hmmm also sounds familiar to me.
The important thing here is to set boundaries. I also have a hard time saying "no" to family, especially to my parents. Don't know if it's the Asian and Christian upbringing of mine. But there came a point in my life, when I just had to set my boundaries and they had to respect that.

Hope that you will also find the balance in this πŸ˜‰

Thank you for the kind words @pixiepost. It has been a week since I visited the community, and I'm surprised by users who gave me engage tokens. And although I don't know what are they, I'm still thankful. Thank you!

I'm usually on HIVE every day but it's been a crazy few weeks so it's been intermittent for me lately. Hopefully in January, I will be back on full force lol.
