by Cheryl Richardson
The New York Times best-selling author of Take Time for Your Life and Life Makeovers.
Are you ready for a little Extreme Self-Care?
As you read through the following statements, think about which ones ring true for you;
- I carry a lot of resentment, feeling angry with others who don't meet my needs.
- I expect people to read my mind and know what I need or want.
- I often feel like a martyr who lives my life for everyone else.
- I have many one-sided relationships where people take more than they give.
- Sex feels like one more task on an already long to-do list.
- I break too many promises to myself.
- I have trouble getting others to share in the workload at home.
- I give to others in an effort to feel needed, important, or worthy.
- It's rare for me to relax or to enjoy things that are fun.
- I tend to settle for crumbs, yet I'm desperate for a whole meal.
- When I'm overwhelmed, tired, or stressed, I rarely think to ask for help.
- I secretly long to be acknowledged for all the helpful things I do.
- People who act "entitled" make me cringe; I'm never like that.
- I sometimes feel foolish about the ways in which I've put the needs of others before my own.
- Because it's not worth the hassle, I don't bother to ask for help.
- I hate disappointing people.
If you relate to any of these statements,then this book is for you!
