Particularly at work where I have a life-long pattern of working myself to death then quitting because no one care and I’m not rewarded for it my extra efforts.

Trying to do this more in 2025. But actually listening to if i want to or can physically do what is being asked of me. it’s really hard i won’t lie, especially if you’ve not been allowed to put your needs first but im standing on me this year so going to keep at it.

It’s a strategy, and it starts with wanting to learn how to say no. The second step is to ask yourself a few questions, like: What am I sacrificing by saying yes? Am I saying yes out of guilt or obligation? What would happen if I said no?
You sit with those questions for a bit, and eventually, you’ll unconsciously start using them as an automatic first response. To build that habit, you really need to reflect on yourself whenever you’re asked to hang out or do something.
But you can’t question your answer afterward, because that will definitely lead you to think, “Okay, I’m just gonna go.” Your first thought is important here—listen to yourself.
This is what I can say would work for someone, if I had to summarize my therapy visits, lol.
For me, to protect my peace, what worked was going to therapy. I learned things I never thought I could. At the beginning, it’s hard, but you’ll see how you can’t back down once you tell yourself that this is the only way.

When hot people are friendly, it makes the people they’re talking to feel hotter about themselves.

My goal is to be the happiest old man I can be, and thinking this way also makes me take better care of my body. If I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself what will be a cooler story to tell grandkids, and that seems to steer me in the right direction.
