😐️How often do you say no? Are you a people pleaser?
Nothing wrong with pleasing people obviously, but don't let it be at your own detriment. As women, we do tend to lean towards helping others and many of us have children, partners and parents that need our attention, but it can often mean we put their needs before our own.
This is your sign to think about saying no to protect your own energy.
Instead of blithely agreeing to helping out on a PTA stall, to baking a cake for a charity day at work, to going out on a boozy brunch with your uni mates....think about it. Does it bring you joy? Are you excited about the activity?
If it's a no or you're a bit meh about it, simply say NO.
'No' can be a complete sentence. It may be difficult, but you honestly don't need to give a reason. Us midlife women have done so much crap that we've not really wanted to do over the years, that we actually deserve a break!
What can you say 'no' to to free up some energy this week?
