The question, “What about me?” reveals you’re experiencing Compassion Fatigue. It means you’re using your energy reserves to give more to others. You can minimize its side effects by including more self-care time in your day.
Accepting things as they are doesn’t mean you’re giving up. It means that you desire to see the situation differently, so you can decide what your next course of action will be.
Ego serves a powerful purpose. It lets you know when you feel compromised, when you feel unappreciated, and when you feel threatened. When it rears its head pay attention to what you’re feeling.
