Negotiating with Oneself


Negotiation is the process of discussion between two or more parties, who seek to find a solution to a common problem, one that meets their needs and interests acceptably.
When we negotiate we want to arrive at the settlement of some matter.

We are used to considering the negotiations we make with others. What about the negotiations we could make with ourselves?
How many of our daily routines, obligations, commitments, etc are serving as much our own needs and interests as they are serving other people’s needs?  What happens when a commitment we made to ourselves is contradicting our self-care and well-being, or simply needs to be re-examined? How much flexibility should we have to negotiate our commitments?
