Wow, Tarek! I think I do that all the time! I can't remember instances but it resonates all the same. The other day I was just getting started on a project when my cell rang and I knew from the name on the screen that I would be on the phone for quite awhile. I answered it, then resolved to quit answering these calls during certain hours in my studio. A part of me felt guilt, as if I wasn't prioritizing a human over my own wants. But I do realize boundaries are healthy and meeting my own needs isn't the opposite of caring about others. Put your oxygen mask on yourself first, right?
THIS IS MY SOAPBOX TOPIC!!!!!! 🤣

We can't give out of an empty well. We must prioritize ourselves first, fill our own tanks, so we can give to others. Thank you friend!
