The Road to Yes is paved with each Intentional No
‘NO’VEMBER – when you celebrate this month of THANKS-GIVING, remember that you matter, that saying NO does not make you selfish. When you start saying yes to your heart, doing what feels right in your soul, things are going to change.
When you choose You First, the more you get to know, trust, and love yourself, the more you will empower yourself to become the best version of you, the one you are destined to be, strong and healthy in body, mind, heart, and soul.
It is OK to say NO to any request, to any thing or person or to going any place that does not fill you with joy, enhance your presence and allow you to be your best you.
I think writer and activist Parker Palmer says it so well: “Self-care is never a selfish act – it is simply a good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.”
Still struggling with a NO in your life? Consider this very important point… Putting You First is what keeps you around to make sure you get stuff done. Without taking care of you, “your world” suffers, and so does the world you want to be there for.
Consider the power of your YES when you have swept away the energy sucking things that you have finally said no to. Your yes will come from a place of enthusiasm instead of reluctance, from a clear heart not a confused one, and from a place of joy not obligation.
Don’t fall into a ‘yes’ trap this year. Hold your ‘yes’ as the precious gift that it is and be clear on those things it is OK to say no to. Say yes to YOU, hell YES!
Celebrate this time of gratitude with grace and an abundance of you. Fill you up with all your own love and let it overflow onto the world around you. I am grateful for YOU, all of you who are taking a stand for yourselves and putting YOU FIRST.
May this time of gratitude and thanksgiving be filled with love, laughter and joy.
Many blessings to you all.
