Stop saying yes to shit you hate

Stop saying yes today

Saying “yes” to every request or opportunity that comes your way can lead to overcommitment and burnout. It’s important to set boundaries and learn how to say “no” in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Here are some tips to stop saying “yes”:

• Know your limits. It’s important to be aware of how much time and energy you have available, and to be realistic about what you can and cannot commit to.
• Be clear about your priorities. If you have a clear idea of what’s most important to you, it will be easier to say “no” to things that don’t align with those priorities.
• Practice saying “no” in a polite and assertive manner. Instead of simply saying “no,” try saying something like “I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to take on any additional commitments at this time.”
• Offer alternatives. If you can’t commit to something, try suggesting alternative solutions or offering to help in a different way.
• Don’t feel guilty. It’s okay to say “no” and put your own needs and boundaries first. Remember that you can’t do everything and it’s important to take care of yourself.
• Set boundaries. Clearly communicate your availability and boundaries to others, and stick to them. This can help prevent others from constantly asking you to do things you don’t have the time or energy for.

By following these tips, you can start to break the habit of saying “yes” all the time and learn to set healthy boundaries for yourself. Remember that it’s okay to say “no” and prioritize your own needs. So your task for today; track your progress and make sure to stop saying yes.
