If you are one of those people who has the urge to say “yes” to everything, this is a must read for you.

I come across that sort of reaction with my clients often (or should I say female clients, the men don’t seem to be suffering from this syndrome as much!). These are the clients who volunteer for everything that requires volunteering, caring for their kids’ pets, always provide a crying shoulder for their friends and occasionally admit that they feel “overwhelmed” at times. Is there any wonder? When all of their precious time is spend on others, there no time left to re-connect with themselves.

Over-volunteering has often hidden reasons, such as a desperate need for appreciation, a need to feel important or simply a need to being busy as to not focus on the reality of our lives.
