Having a realistic idea of what I can handle and what I can't handle. And, you know, if past history is any indication, for a lot of us, what happens is we over, you know, we overcommit. We think we can do more than we can. And I think one of the best things I've learned, and we talked about this a little earlier, but it's important to underline, is that I can back out of things. I can say no. I can apologize because I'm not able to do it in protection of myself, in protection of my mental health, in protection of taking care of myself so I can be better equipped tomorrow to help somebody or to be a part of something that's happening during the holidays.
