Value your time and energy enough to say no to things that don't serve you from "summary" of How to Say No: The Art of Saying No to People You Can’t Say No to (How to Stand Your Ground, Reclaim Your Time and Energy, and Refuse to Be Taken for Granted) by Mitchell Coleman
When you take a step back and really think about it, time and energy are two of the most valuable resources we have in our lives. We only have a finite amount of each, and how we choose to spend them can greatly impact our well-being and overall happiness. So, it stands to reason that we should be selective about how we allocate our time and energy. This means learning to say no to things that don't serve us. It means recognizing when saying yes to something would mean sacrificing our own needs, priorities, and boundaries. It means understanding that it's okay to put ourselves first and prioritize our own well-being. Saying no isn't always easy. We may worry about disappointing others, about seeming selfish or rude. But the truth is, saying no is an essential skill for setting boundaries, protecting our time and energy, and ultimately leading a more fulfilling life. It's about recognizing our own worth and valuing ourselves enough to prioritize our own needs and well-being. When we say no to things that don't serve us, we create space for the things that do. We free up time and energy for the people, activities, and commitments that align with our values and bring us joy and fulfillment. We give ourselves permission to focus on what truly matters to us and to live our lives on our own terms. So, the next time you're faced with a request or opportunity that doesn't feel right for you, remember that it's okay to say no. Remember that you deserve to prioritize your own needs and well-being. Remember that by saying no to the things that don't serve you, you're saying yes to a more fulfilling, authentic life.
