When something happens slowly over time you aren’t likely to notice the drastic change that’s occurred.
Because bit by bit it changes.
You make an exception here, you allow them to take a little more there, you give a little more again.
And pretty soon there isn’t anything left.
You probably aren’t going to see it at the time.
And you probably won’t see it until you have some distance from it.
But if you feel like it’s eating you alive – then it probably is.
The sooner you can get some distance from it, the sooner you will regenerate.
The question is – how do you distance yourself and who can you lean on while you do?
