Hey loves!
Today, we’re going to talk about the ultimate secret to putting yourself first. No, it’s not candles or bubble baths (although I like those too). And I’m not going to tell you to schedule “me time” in your phone, or go on an expensive retreat.
Are you ready for it? It was your FAVORITE word when you were a toddler! It’s the word “no”!
I’m serious. Every time you say “yes” to things that don’t fulfill you, you have to say “no” to the blessings that are trying to enter your life. And if you think you’re helping other people, or getting them to like you more, you’re not. Do you know what happens to “yes” people? They become bitter, burned out, and a burden because of all the negativity they bring with them. Is that the type of person YOU want to be around?
Do yourself a favor. Take some time today, and list the last few times you said yes when you wanted to say no. Are there patterns? People you always say yes to? Situations you always find yourself in (ex. constantly listening to others’ complaints, working longer hours, or always loaning money)? Who or what do you need to say no to now?
