Is it ever good to be selfish? If you’re inclined to be giving and generous with your time, sometimes, it’s important to think of your own needs, be assertive and set boundaries so people don’t take advantage of you.
Susanna Sjoberg and I talked about this on Episode 17 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast and she told me:
“Becoming assertive, that was a huge learning curve for me because I was definitely a giver, and getting to that point where you can say no,
I’m still generous but there’s a limit and what you were just saying it’s very true and
it’s becoming aware of where your weak points are, where you need to work on and become healthier when you realize that those boundaries it’s nice to give but then if it’s hurting you then you should stop …
absolutely being selfish is healthy to a degree!
