Being Intentional with When to Say Yes
Description
Being intentional with when to say yes isn’t just considering yes vs no. Intentionality also involves how you engage internal resistance to what you say you want to do. There are many reasons you might experience tension and resistance even when you want to do something. First, it could highlight an area that needs clarification or additional discernment. Your subconscious will send you signals when it perceives potential danger including from a values conflict or past experiences. Second, it could be a warning around your capacity. That doesn’t mean don’t do it, but it may mean obtaining additional information and/or support. Remember saying yes isn’t just for giving and doing but also for receiving.
In this episode of Unlimited, I explore being intentional with when to say yes and when there’s subsequent resistance around then doing the thing.
Some of what I talk about in this episode includes:
- Values assessment to identify internal conflicts
- Overcoming resistance from fear
- Preventing burnout cycles from misalignment
- Capacity and additional agreements to consider when saying yes
