Reluctant Yeses Harm Everyone
- Saying yes when your heart says no diminishes your contribution and breeds resentment.
- A reluctant yes harms both you and the people who receive your work.
Ask Heart-Centered Questions
- Ask yourself aloud and place your hands on your heart to test what truly matters.
- Use those questions across decisions about stuff, work, feelings, and invitations.
Use The Loving No
- Practice a grateful, graceful 'loving no' that honors both you and the asker.
- Picture enjoying the time you free before giving your decline to stay kind and firm.
