Saying No

Not today

Not right now

No

I have the overwhelming need to help people. Any of you there with me? With this need, it is extremely easy to say yes to things that we aren’t completely into. Maybe we want to help make things easier for a friend or family member. We probably try to do what ever we have committed to in saying yes with the best of intentions. Then we get in too deep and spread ourselves too thin. Yep, I have been there/done that. Too often in fact.

Know that is is completely okay to say no, especially if it is your own best interest. Be okay with it and embrace it, even it if feels awkward. There is a finite amount of time in every day. Saying no to one thing allows you say yes to something else. If you don’t look out for yourself, who will? Sometimes saying no isn’t saying no altogether, it is saying “not right now” or “not today”, and that is okay too.
