A mental health note

Often there is the temptation to take on more and more responsibilities. This is especially common in people who have difficulties saying no and who don't want to disappoint others. What you do have to remember is that you yourself must always come first. Though this may seem selfish, no one will care for you in the end other than yourself. Approach commitments with a rational mind and ask yourself if it is too much for your schedule. Do take into account that it is important for mental health to have time for leisure and recreation even if that is just lying back and doing nothing. Taking on tasks, committees and commitments may be beneficial to others but it may not be for yourself.

Don't be afraid of saying no
