I have enforced a policy where I only ...Hi there!!<br /><br />I have enforced a policy where I only accept personal calls on certain days and certain times of the evening. If anyone calls me, they will hear a greeting that informs all callers "I am sorry but I can't speak with you right now. If this matter is of a personal nature, I will be returning calls on Wednesday from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM".<br /><br />Yes....I did that!<br /><br />We have to let people know what our boundaries are because they think that just because you have a cell means that they can all any hour of the day or night and you will answer. Now my friends know that I won't answer any personal calls. If they try to block their number and call me to see if I'll answer, I explain to them that I don't appreciate deceitful games!<br /><br /><br />We need to value our serenity and seek balance in our lives... that requires that we set clear boundaries about our availability to others in our personal time.LISA VAZQUEZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583559303233985031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15157689.post-39064212670681174912009-06-10T13:15:22.903-05:002009-06-10T13:15:22.903-05:00Girl that was me last week.....just anti-social &a...Girl that was me last week.....just anti-social & stressed like you wouldn't believe.<br />I'm still enjoying my break from the girls..but hanging out with fam and ppl i dont usually chill with.

I know it's easier said than done, but I bet when you look at the BIG picture, you're probably lingering on it "way" to long while they've already moved on, if they've even given "it" a second thought. As far as the cell phone thing, I often leave it on silent and check when I "feel" like it. It's up to us what we allow to consume our lives.
