I caught myself feeling agitated and anxious today after I got a phone call from work to cover something. The word “no” seems to be an alien concept to certain people.

The only appropriate thing I can do is go to work and just get it over with. If I look at it another way, at least I can put food on the table. I just have to remind myself that I have a job, but I am not my job. But certain people disagree…

It’s because of moments like these that I am glad that I can pause and reflect on what got me so flustered in the first place and make a new choice. Got to keep my emotions in check.
