When you say NO to something, you’re simply saying YES to something or someone else… it opens up more time for you, for you and your spouse, you and your kids, things you want to do!

Some things I say NO to without hesitation- baby showers, baby anything really, wedding showers, just any showers… I despise them all, they waste my time, and I don’t enjoy them.

I say NO to late night events that would put me getting in super late or if it messes with my sleep patterns or if I have something early the next day. I know how I feel on limited sleep and it isn’t good, so I have no problems with this NO either.

I say NO to things that I just really don’t want to do, even if someone on the other end may try to make me feel guilty, I allow it for a split second at times then I’m like NOPE, not gonna feel guilty about this. I don’t want to do it, it’s not going to make me happy, I’m just going to make THEM happy, not gonna do it!

So, saying NO can be therapeutic self-care, the more you practice it, the easier it gets to say no.

This week, I want you all to practice saying NO to something or someone if it becomes applicable in your life…. I promise it feels GOOD to say it!
