Grab a pen and a notebook.
- Are there any roles you play or responsibilities you assume in order to appease the people around you? Think of things you feel you have to do, but each time you do, you groan internally.
- How long do you think you’ll need to keep these up? Another week, a month, ahem...years?
- How would the other person/people react if you stopped doing it? Would they tantrum at your feet? Would the sky fall? Would they talk shit behind your back?
- What would you use that saved energy towards? Growing your empire? Taking a nap? Organizing your basement? Spending time with people (or finding people) who appreciate you?
