Ms. Shondaland is telling us to say yes. And we're being told to "lean in", but I'm saying NO! I'm going the opposite. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. And a lot of what I do doesn't even matter to me. I am the queen of saying yes. And it's draining! My new philosophy is to say NO! It's a lot harder than it sounds. You don't want to let people down. You don't want to seem selfish. But the reality is that we should be saying yes to things we love and be okay saying no to the things we don't. I'm not saying I'm no longer going to do the dishes or run errands. Those are necessities. But I am going to start saying no to the optional stuff that my heart really isn't into. So the rule of thumb should be, if your whole being isn't screaming, "f*ck yes!" to something, you should be saying no. When you say no to something, it means you can say yes to something else. So choose wisely. 💜 #upliftempowervalidate #girlboss #dreamiob #wahm #ladygang #liveboldly #chooseyou #journey #love #life #rules #goodlife
