We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
800x600 I get asked this a lot! I getit from my business clients and from my fitness clients and it isusually after someone has said yes tosomething but now wants to say no. They feel that they cant change theirmind and ask me Ya, but what do I do? I know, its a real loop, isnt it? It is importantto understand and realize that just because we said yes in the first place does not mean that we can never go back and sayno. We agree to do things for many reasons whichare usually valid at the time when we say yes. However then often we have time to think aboutit and realize a no would have been the best choice. Wegenuinely want to help so its uncomfortable because we dont want todisappoint or not be a team player.Dont get me wrong, there are times we want tochange our mind because we are afraid or are out of our comfort zone and thinkwe cant do something. That is not whatI am talking about. Im talking about things we have said yes to that take us away from ourdesired outcomes or goals. Like aclient who signed up for a weekly networking meeting and later realized that itwas taking her away from running her business and impacting when she could seeher clients. This ultimately led toimpacting her money-making abilities so she needed to say no after saying yes. Where in yourlife do you need to say no after you have said yes? Trust me; it isnt as scary as your gremlinis making it out to be. We arenttalking about being mean. We are allentitled to change our minds and we do not need to offer a great detailedexplanation as to why. You probably think if you say no then:people wont like youyoull let others down and theyll be disappointed in youyoull look like a failure or worse, youll feel like a failureI am here to tell you that the above are not true! What is really happening is that you are tellingyourself a story about what you think will happen. Youre talking yourself out of doing what isbest for you. If you arent true to yourself, what will happen is that you end up full ofresentment, frustration andeven worseanger at both yourself and the otherperson. Let me ask you, do you thinkthis is a good thing? No, of course itisnt and you know that. Which is whyyou have such an internal tug-o-war; your inner guidance knows it needs to sayno and your ego is saying that you cant.Saying noauthentically and with compassion for both yourself and the other person is theonly way to honor yourself. I remember the first time I said no after sayingyes. Was I nervous and afraid? You bet I was. However, it felt so good that I spoke up formyself and for what I wanted and needed! Did the world end? Of course itdid not, and it wont when you do it. Is there something or someone that you said yes tothat now you want to say no? I encourage you to speak up confidentlyand say I know that I said I would do xyz, but I realize that I wont be ableto. Sometimes you may be able to make arecommendation or suggestion for a replacement, and if you are by all meansplease do; just dont do that in order to take the pressure off of you. Comefrom a true place of self-empowerment and you will always feel good aboutyourself.
