Saying Yes, Saying No
Saying Yes, Saying No
with each minute of our 24 hours, each and every day. How much of it would we feel we had chosen?
The truth is, at some level or another, we chose all of it. And if there are things we don't feel like we chose, we certainly chose to allow them to continue.
So if we have all this choice, how come we reach points from time to time where life seems incredibly cluttered and pressured? Perhaps we lost sight of what we're saying yes to and no to... and why.
If you've ever heard yourself say yes when you meant no, you'll know how bad that feels. For some people, each day is like that. So what does that leave them with? Lots of what they don't want filling their time and no time for what they do want!
My guess is that we all have this situation to a greater or lesser extent. Perhaps we over-commit ourselves to work or other areas, try to fit too much into our time, attempt to do lots of things at once, find ourselves doing things that don't energise us and perhaps in some cases drain us. So what do we do about it? Have a clearout!
The secret to spring cleaning your life is in those simple words 'yes' and 'no'. Are there situations, commitments or people in your life that you're regularly saying yes to, that you'd love to say no to? How much time could you free up by saying no to
things that don't give you anything and that you don't enjoy? What could you do with that time instead?
By consciously looking at what we don't want to be doing with our time, we clear out the clutter and make space for a better quality of life. We open up our time for the things we enjoy, clearing the way for new opportunities to have fun and to grow. How refreshing will that be!
What will YOU say yes and no to?
If this has struck a chord with you, take action now and answer these questions one at a time, making notes as a reminder:
What do you spend your time on that you'd like to say no to?
By saying no to these things, what will that free up time for?
If you were to put yourself first, what commitments, situations and people would you be saying no to?
What will you say yes to instead?

If we were to float up and hover above our daily life and look at all the things that make it up. At all the people and things that are part of it. At what we do
