(There’s more to it than you think!)
I love boundaries. 🛑
It took me a long time to develop them, and to feel comfortable sharing my boundaries with others.
But you know what? It’s one of the greatest things in my personal and professional life.🥳
One of the biggest insights many clients have during our coaching sessions is this: ⬇️
Make your NO super strong so that your YES is stronger.
Because your YES is meaningful and important.
When I say YES it’s a HUGE yes.
I’m in, 100%. 💯
WATCH OUT
Sometimes you give a half-hearted yes.
And then, because you’ve committed to it, there’s often another YES following that YES. So now you have to say yes to that. 😱
STOP IT BEFORE IT GROWS
It’s better to have a clear NO at the beginning to stop yourself from being overcommitted. It’s harder to say NO later in the game, when expectations and pressure are even higher. 😅
TELL ME!
When was the last time you said yes and why did you say it?
Was it because you wanted to avoid conflict?
Or because you felt you could do it faster, and you didn’t have time to explain it?
Or because no one else stepped up, so you had to…again?
I’m curious!
