I am often staggered by the awareness that I am still learning about me; my reactions and perceptions, my values and beliefs. I know that we change all the time and rolling with the changes is an important lesson to learn in it's self.
My new 'lesson' and one I have been trying to get hold of for many years, is the ability to say no and pace myself. For instance, a potential client called me yesterday and asked to see me urgently. I had some free time in the afternoon and would normally have scheduled her in to that slot....but I was tired and I would have been unable to give of my best so I explained that I was already booked up and gave her a slot for the following week.
Just saying 'no' was liberating and I am sure when the client comes to see me I will be on top form and she will get the benefit.
The moral of this little story is that we all need space and time to reflect and we do not have to cram everything in at once. Stop and smell the roses..!!!
