Taking one for the Team

To accept some chore or hardship for the sake of one's friends or colleagues.

Who's best interest is this in? Probably not yours. Usually it involves sacrificing your time, happiness and energy in order to:

*keep the peace

* be a "team player"

* "earn" respect

* be the "good girl"

It probably leaves you feeling

* Drained - your energy is being used toward something that really doesn't matter to you OR isn't even your responsibility.

* Resentful - either because you didn't say no, or you see what your sacrifice gave to them (maybe they are out enjoying that company BBQ while your inside filing their paperwork)

* Manipulated - seeing how others are taking advantage of you, but not speaking up (which leads to bitterness and resentfulness)

* Sick - you could actually become physically sick from taking on too much.

So why did "No" become unacceptable as an answer?

When people are used to your "accommodating" ways, they are used to taking your lack of boundaries and using it for their advantage. And this doesn't only happen in the work place, I have experienced it in relationships too.

That ex that takes advantage of you by staying out all night.

That friend that uses you as an emotional dumpster.

And when you set boundaries, they get mad. So you bend. You want to avoid rocking the boat. You desire to keep the friendship, the relationship, the job.

But at what cost?

What are you willing to give up, in order to keep everyone else happy?

Your time?

Your energy?

You happiness?

Your soul's desires?

Love, if all you get from this is "No is a full answer", I consider my job complete.

I love you, and wish you nothing but the best.

And if this is something you desire support with, please know that I am here for you always.
