The inability to say no stems simply from an eagerness to please. We struggle to say no because we’re scared of what will happen if we do…
What if we are not busy enough? What if we can't be everything to everyone? What is people get offended?
The thing is, when we constantly put others first we say NO to ourselves. Your support, kindness and attunement to the needs of others is admiral in one sense – but not when it entails the loss of self. You will never be able to become your true authentic self if you are continually bending to meet the needs of others. We have limited energy, time and resources and we all have a responsibility to ourselves to use them wisely. If we’re always giving out – and not taking anything back for ourselves – then overtime we’ll simply burnout.
Lucky for all of you, I sat down with Tanya Dalton to tackle this idea of chasing busy and trying to do all the things while keeping ourselves in the passenger seat of our own lives. She's got a lot of great tips and tricks to say NO more often, time tricks to ensure you are spending your time the best way possible and of course, how to jump into the drivers seat of your life.
