In Focus

Are you the kind of person who never says no to someone? But then you end up feeling slightly resentful or just overworked or overwhelmed because it’s a little too much?

Why do we say yes when we shouldn't?

• Fear of jeopardizing a relationship
• Fear of maximizing all opportunities 
• Overestimation of our free time

Saying no doesn't have to be a negative thing. It can be positive.

If you want to learn how to positively say no to others, while not alienating them, then take a listen to this week's episode.

Do you excitedly set New Year's Resolutions every year only to realize 3 months in that you aren't accomplishing them? Or maybe even that they might not be the right ones to guide you through the New Year. Well, my friend, you are not alone. And this is why I've all but abandoned New Year's Resolutions. Because most of the time they're a list of things I want to do or achieve. And it brings up feelings of inadequacy or stress when I fall short.

Instead, I now choose a Word of the Year, set implementation intentions insetad of Resolutions and align my goals with these.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• Why choosing a Word of the Year can be more helpful than setting New Year's Resolutions
• Steps to help clarify your word
• The benefit of setting implementation intentions to cultivate new habits and achieve more this year
