It is easy to get stuck on one side of this equation or the other.
For some, saying no is easy. They have super tight boundaries and are protective of their time. Sometimes they miss an opportunity because they won’t allow flexibility in their life. Sometimes, they miss out because their protective shell is there because they don’t quite feel worthy to have opportunities. Their learning edge is to allow their yes to emerge.
I’m more the opposite. I tend to have the ‘kid in the candy store’ and ‘who wants to pass up a good opportunity?’ approach. Other times, I take things on to please others. Both ways, it is easy for me to get overloaded and burned out. My learning edge is to work on boundaries and saying no. I’ve had to learn to protect my time and energy and to focus on the things most aligned with my purpose and path!
Where’s your yes? And your no?
