Check Your Yes

 

Here is a thought that has been running through my head over and over again lately:

All new yeses are a no to something you are currently doing.

Pause and think about that.

Sometimes that is a good thing as we may be saying yes to something good and giving up surfing time on our phone, but that's not usually how this goes.  How this usually works is that we are so overloaded that surfing time is our only brain-off time and so it seems like a requirement (there are better options people!) and so instead that new yes is traded for time with our loved ones, our exercise time, or actual down time like reading.

Check your yes.  Make sure that what you are saying no to in order to accept that yes is worth it.
