Every "yes" to someone else's urgent request.

Every "of course" when you're already drowning.

Every "happy to help" that steals from your priorities.

Be careful of the tradeoffs you're making. Because pleasing others all the time means disappointing yourself - again and again.

What most lawyers and other high achievers don't realize?

That constant stress you're feeling isn’t from the workload. It's from betraying yourself daily.

• The team member who comes in (without knocking), needing “just one minute”.

• The client who expects immediate responses.

• The colleague who dumps their emergency on you.

You say yes. Because that's what it takes for “success”, right?

Wrong.

Know your worth. Protect your priorities. And understand this:

Disappointing others occasionally is better than disappointing yourself constantly.

XO,

Heather
