Whats Going On!!!
This last six week have been kind of rough for me considering I am currently taking a class over that I didn't pass and still kind of struggling to keep my grade up because of family matters. I am doing a good job of staying in control of assignments when I can get some work done and concentrate fully on my assignments. I have a hard time saying no especially to my little ones when it comes to choosing school over them and that is a great big barrier I am beginning to over come. I feel that in this six weeks I have become a much stronger student and have partially become less of a people pleaser and learned how to say no a lot better. I wish it was that easy in the first place but hey when your used to helping people all the time its kind of hard to say no and do things that pertain to you and not other people when it come to things you have to do to better or take good care of yourself.

OMG!! you sound just like the "old me" I was a people pleaser too. Here is a great trick I learned in counseling. Step 1. go to the store and buy a date calendar. Step 2. No matter what you have going on in your life write the words "BUSY TODAY" on any given day. Step3 when someone wants you to do something, look at he day and show them your calendar and say "I am so sorry, but it looks like I am already busy that day". Trust me, this really does work. People only ask you because they know you will say yes no matter what. Good luck in school, keep focused, this is what will get what you want out of life..
