Time to read: short, sweet and oh so effective
Welcome to week 5 of your summer challenge!
I hope you said no to lots of things last week and cleared time and space in your life and work. This week, we're amping up your NO
Here is your 5th challenge.
Quit
Quitting gets a bad rap. How many times have you heard, "Don't be a quitter." When you quit something to honor yourself, quitting is good.
It can be hard to go back on something you already agreed to so pay attention to the pull to please people or put their needs before your own. It is ok to change your mind or make a new decision.
Consider cancelling plans with friends in order to have quiet time at home. Quit a volunteer role that has become dull and flat. Quit being the one who makes all the plans.
If you need a script for how to quit, try words like these,
- "I am reprioritizing, and have decided...."
- "I've decided I need more time at home so I'm going to stop...."
- "I feel ackward about this since I already said yes, and...."
Quitting will help you clean up how you use your time and energy so you have room for things that nourish you.
