I recently read The Art of Doing Nothing which has helped me appreciate I don’t always need to be ‘obviously achieving’ as what I achieve by doing nothing is far more profound.
This year I have decided I need to learn the art of saying no more often. This is not to upset others or cause problems but to allow me to spend more time being me, walking outdoors, swimming, reading and simply being. ‘Let them’ is also going to be something I want to work harder on, as an infinite people pleaser.
It is both the hardest, and easiest, thing to do. I am finding that simply giving myself the permission to not reply immediately to every text or email creates more of a chance for me to decide how I really want to answer, ie yes, or no. Force the pause!
