This week, I experienced a new freedom - the freedom that comes with saying no. A month shy of my 30th birthday, you think I would have figured this out earlier in life. I've had glimpses of this freedom here and there, but my people pleasing personality always defaults to saying yes or doing something out of obligation or fear of disappointing people.
But three times this week, I chose the good of my family and my mental health over an obligatory attendance at a previously committed event. Not that I'm promoting backing out of commitments, but there are just some times that it's better not to go. And every time this week that I chose to stay home, I was so refreshed. Rest is refreshing - imagine that!
