I agree with Dee. Don't allow the inner dialogue. It's like when my kids are begging me for something that I have said is non-negotiable. If I engage with them, get involved in a debate or power struggle, eventually they could wear me down. I take this approach with them: "The answer is no, and there will be no conversation." I have to remind myself that I am the one in charge.
You are the one in charge. You can do it. Glad you are feeling better.
