Do you find yourself saying yes to everything, even when you really feel like saying no? At the end of last year, I caught myself saying ‘yes’ to a bunch of things that weren’t making me happy or fulfilling my personal goals, purely because I just wanted to keep someone else happy! By putting other people first before myself, I ended up feeling cranky that I’d spent time and energy into things that didn’t fulfill me and by the end of the year, I felt burnt out and run down! And guess what? I didn’t spend half as much time achieving the things I wanted too! I think this is an area that LOTS of women struggle with… so this episode is for all my ‘people pleasers’ out there who need to learn how to say NO when it doesn’t suit them!
