Protecting Your Time and Energy​

​​​​

Saying "yes" to everything may seem like a good way to please others, but it often leads to burnout and resentment.

Learning to say "no" is one of the most powerful tool you can use to protect your time and energy.

When you say "no" to things that don’t align with your goals or values, you’re saying "yes" to the things that truly matter.

​​

​​Why Saying No is Powerful​​

​​​​

1. It protects your boundaries: Saying no helps you maintain control over your time.

2. It promotes focus: Fewer distractions mean you can pour more energy into what matters.
   

3. It reduces overwhelm: Saying no is an act of self-care, saving you from taking too much.

2. Practice saying no in small ways. Set boundaries with your time and energy.
   

3. Remember that your time is valuable. Saying no is a way of honoring that.
