You know her. The Alpha mom who does everything all of the time. She is PTA president, home room advisor, and soccer coach. She makes perfect cupcakes and her children are involved in every activity from piano lessons to little league.
What you might not realize is that she does not enjoy all of the endless activity. As a matter of fact she keeps promising her friends and her husband that she will learn to say no but each time volunteers are requested she finds herself begrudgingly signing up to help.
You might think that it takes a great deal of confidence to take on all of those activities, but often times that is not the case. Women are especially guilty of taking on more then they can handle when it concerns their social circle.
Sometimes people say yes too often because they fear no one else will step up and do things right. Other times it is because they are afraid of losing friends or respect if they say they can not help or have other commitments.
What you must remember if you are one of these people is that your time has value. When you overextend yourself you take your valuable time away from other things and then those things suffer. Time with your children or your spouse is usually the first casualty when someone can't learn to say no. Children grow resentful, marriages crumble, and stress rises for those who are overextended. In order to stop saying yes and get back to having time for yourself alone you need to learn when and how to use the word "no" appropriately.
