NEW YEAR AND SAME OVERBOOKED CALENDAR

Well, is this year looking like last year with the same crazy schedule??

Overbooked with no FREE time? Are you the poster child for the "YES" girl?

It's time to let this go so you can live a better year!! This blog post is designed to show you when to say YES.

Understanding that there are obligations we must do but many are negotiable....
So, it becomes really important to evaluate what you really want to say YES to, this is very overlooked. We don't have to win the " busy" award even though our culture is determined to make us feel like less of ourselves if we don't. There is apparently a new disease out there and it's called busyitis. Sounds awful doesn't it?  Along with this disease our egos become inflamed. Watch out for the inflamed ego which causes you to say yes for selfish needs. This is all about making ourselves look good. The ego is insatiable, always looking for more. It never stops on its own without some intervention.

If you are burdened by a sense of obligation or feel like you have to do EVERYTHING use the following to determine if you really want to say YES:
Does it give me energy?
Am I excited about doing it?
Does it connect me to the people I most care about?
Does it ring true with my personal mission statement?

It's life changing when you say YES to things and really mean it!

One final thought....
Watch out for making offers or promises you can't keep!
Do you do this?
Do you find yourself calling to cancel plans with people frequently?
Do you have to apologize for promises you forgot to keep?
Do you blame others for expecting too much for you?

Take a look in the mirror and be honest with your answers. Check yourself and especially the ego.  Saying YES for all of the right reasons can bring you happiness and pure joy. Wouldn't you like your calendar to be full of what you really want to do???
