Boundaries can be all about saying no.
We so often don’t talk about our “yeses”..
There are so many types of yeses. Some of the more popular ones are –
- the “Well, …. Okay,…. I guess….” yes
- the “I can only do this for 5 minutes…and then I have to go...” yes
- the “Sure…, why not…” yes
- the “Absolutely, I’d love to…” yes, and
- the “When can we start, I would have done this yesterday if I had known about this!” yes..
If the average ratio of your weekly “yes count” has been skewing more toward the “Well, ….Okay,….I guess….” mindset of that spectrum lately, then maybe this is the week to choose the stronger yes option more often.
Today’s motivational nudge is: Make this week all about choosing the action with the strong yes.
If you’re feeling wishy-washy and dragging your feet about a particular thing, pause and ask yourself why that is. Maybe you need to do something entirely different or maybe that specific thing needs to be done differently?
Wishing you a week of joyful, resoundingly strong, yeses.
Have a great week!

This is a great reminder. We often get strongarmed into doing something we really don’t want to do and an initial “no” turns into a “Well okay I guess”.

So true, being strong-armed is a good way of putting it – I almost think a weak yes can actually be a strong no :)..we just don’t want to admit it sometimes..

Asking yourself questions like this always helps align yourself with life. It really is a problem if most of your life is just ‘meh’, instead of ‘hell yes’. But that requires a lot of reflection, which this post works as a great reminder to do. Thanks for this post!

Very true – an abundance of “meh”s makes for an unappealing way to spend our time. It does take a minute to pause and be more intentional. Thanks for stopping by :)..
