I am the worst when it comes to saying no. Not just because I’m a natural-born people pleaser, but also because I genuinely want to participate in life and help a friend when I can.

The problem is that participating in everything ends up leaving me time for nothing. Nothing I care about, anyway. I will be busy, but not productive. All that busyness just leaves me tired and cranky with no energy left for the people and ideas that move me.

This is your reminder that it’s okay to say no. It’s more than okay; it’s a requirement. Politely decline an event, a request, or a call at least once a week. Consider it an exercise in becoming comfortable and confident at saying no.

You can’t do everything at once. There will be times when you say no to things you love and yes to things you don’t. That’s okay, too.
