Ok so we have all heard about the power of the word no. No means no right? Of course, it does but there is also power in the word yes. That power can be good, but it can also drain you, so you must be careful.
Yes, can be draining? What in the world do I mean, yes can get you great things. Say yes to the dress is awesome or yes to a piece of cake. So good! That is true but what about when you say yes to everyone?
Oh yeah that just hit you. So how many times, in a day both personally and professionally do you find yourself saying yes? No one is speaking up so fine I will do it. I’m so tired but sure I will go out for drinks. Friend needs help painting a room, hate painting but sure I’ll be there.
Don’t get me wrong it’s great to help people or organizations that you are passionate about. Helping at work is a good thing as well, your team will be better for it. However, don’t let the power of saying yes drain you to the point of no return. You can’t be all things to all people if your tank is on E.
This is where the power of yes and no collide. Be helpful, do things for others but don’t forget that it is ok to say no sometimes. Especially if you need time for yourself. So, get some rest while you shine bright! MUCH LOVE!
