Awhile back I asked my mom how she accomplished so many things when we were young... raising us, working with my dad, working on church things, etc, etc, etc. She answered, because I didn't say no.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Where are areas in my life that I say yes to when I really should say no. What things am I only doing because I have to or should instead of want to or need to.
Today, I took a step toward saying no. It wasn't a direct "no." It was more of a I "no" longer want to spend my time doing this.
I know you are probably asking what I no longer want to do. Well beside housework :) Tonight, I sent an email to a client I have been writing for over the past year. She is wonderful to write for! But it is just taking up too much of my time, so I wrote her that I was giving her my notice.
It was hard to write and send the email, but I know it is the right thing for this time in my life. I'm still keeping my one client- which will keep me plenty busy!
What areas in your life are you holding on to where you really need to say "no"?
