Does it feel like it’s your job to make sure everyone around you is okay even though you’re trying to run a business? And on top of that, they never appreciate it.
You know the person you hired to help you with your logo, or marketing, or bookkeeping is going through it personally so they keep dropping the ball. But you say yes, it’s okay. I understand, take your time.
And you end up doing half the work yourself because you feel bad for their situation.
Your friend thinks that because you work for yourself, you can help her move in the midweek, in the middle of the day!
And you say yes! (Even though you don’t have the time!)
Some rando on LinkedIn wants to pick your brain, and you’re so grateful it wasn’t a sales pitch that you said yes. You don’t have the time or energy for this. And then when he asked if you could meet with him again, you still said yes.
Come to find out later that he’s just trying to get a date with you.
You run into an acquaintance who’s having a birthday party. And even though you’re exhausted, you feel like you “have to” show up. Because you don’t want her to think you don’t like her.
It’s always something. It feels like everyone wants a piece of you, and you keep saying yes.
You keep doing, they keep NOT appreciating.
Is it any surprise you feel like a burning ember in a campfire?
For many people, it’ll take a major catastrophe or a near-death experience to release the “say yes” habit. I do NOT want that for you.
It’s why I love talking to people who’ve released the “always say yes” habit on my podcast. Because it helps others understand what they can do to release their own “say yes” habit.
Join me this week for a conversation with entrepreneur and Founder of Wild Yoga Tribe, Lily Allan-Duenas, to learn how she stopped saying yes to everyone else and started saying yes to herself.
