Oh guys! This journey has been one for the books!

Your health is important, spending time with family members is important, meeting that deadline is important. Try it! Replace “no time” with “not important” when talking about the things you ‘can’t’ do and see how it feels. It seems as if this ‘no time’ response is especially prevalent when talkin
