I for one am guilty of saying YES probably way too often. By nature, I am a “people pleaser”. I want everyone to be happy, and I want everyone to not take issue with anything that is my responsibility. Over the years we obviously discover that it is impossible to make everyone happy and that it is okay to “let go” of the thoughts of others. If it isn’t serving you “let it go” and it is okay to say “NO”. Try to reflect on what is your “why” and let that help in the decision of will you say YES or NO when the next situation arises.
