Rules keep me safe
Rules keep me safe.
Rules help me avoid overdoing it.
Rules keep me from ruining my health, relationships, finances, and happiness.
Examples:
I'm never too busy to exercise
I don't buy things to impress others
If my kids ask me to play, I say yes
Rules help me live my values.
A rule that helps me get enough sleep:
I don't need an alarm clock.
If I can't wake up on time naturally, then I'm staying up too late.
