Even though we’re often tempted to follow it with an
apology, explanation, justification or a promise of yes in the future.
Mindfully saying no reduces the physical, mental and
emotional clutter in our lives.
We only have a limited amount of energy, time and
enthusiasm.
Saying no establishes boundaries, creates limits and reminds
us that we’re in charge of our choices.
Despites no’s reputation as a negative, it can in fact act
as a positive reminder; helping us make conscious decisions about much energy
to devote to a project, how much time we’ll spend on a relationship, and where
our own best interests should keep our attention.
Choosing to say no, setting limits, and being conscious of
how we spend our time and energy simplifies our lives.
Oh, it isn’t necessary to stomp your foot while saying
no-but it might be fun to do it in your mind…..
Your life-your choices.
