Saying No to empower your boldest YES
I don’t know about you, but around this time each year the energy goes CRAZY! All the dream-seeds I tended back in the spring have taken off in full growth mode. And it’s beautiful…and bonkers…and I get to experience all that I’ve said a full-bodied YES to.
And also….there are always a few things I should have said NO to. I can’t help it, I get excited and want to do so much, to plunge into so many juicy projects!
Thankfully these days I know how to check in with my energy before I take too much on. I’ve learnt how to value my time and only commit to what is truly in my gift to give. Life’s a beautiful, colourful, sensual garden of possibilities, but as every gardener knows, you have to give the flowers room to grow. Which means weeding out the plants that don’t delight you, before the garden turns into an impenetrable jungle!
Here’s my top tip for knowing what to say Yes to, and what to gracefully turn down.
Ask your body! She knows. She knows your potential, and your limits. Learn what an embodied Yes feels like, in your body. What’s a Maybe….and what’s a No? Do you feel it in your heart? Belly? Legs or feet?
Your body is an oracle. Take time to learn how she speaks to you.
