A pause gives you back a choice. When you're used to being the person who steps in, figures things out, and makes sure everything gets done, taking something on can become almost automatic. You might agree before you've checked your calendar, offered help before you've considered your own capacity, or found yourself responsible for something you never actually agreed to carry.
These five questions give you a moment to interrupt that pattern and make a more conscious decision.
You can still be generous, dependable and supportive. You can still care deeply about the people around you. You just get to include yourself in the equation, too.
