Description

If you are a FOMO person, we have a few tips for how you say “No” strategically to avoid misalignment and burnout. 

What we might learn from New Zealand PM Jacinda ??? and Forrest Gump about stopping when you are done.

Question Why: Why is it so hard to say “NO” even when you’re tired and stretched thin?

What my first encounter with ABC taught me about the importance of saying “No” or “Not now” especially when you’re not ready. 

Why this matters:

  1. Time and energy are limited.
  2. Life is precious.
  3. Your gift is special.

Practical tip: Don’t have more than you can hold in one hand.

In practice: Let’s do this:

  1. Say “No” if you’re not ready.
  2. Check your alignment.
  3. Say “Yes” to you first. 

Homework:

Confirm that the things you are doing are aligned. If a new opportunity arises, test to see if it is worth your time. 

Encouraging Word

You are a precious gift. We need you at your best. Take the time to care for yourself and you will have more to give to the world.
