Have you ever committed to something, only to look back and regret your decision? The best way to avoid this is to say no to everything, at least at first. When you say no, you're protecting your time for the things that matter to you most. Your next task should be to find the support to say yes. If you can't fid the reasons why you should say yes or your reasons aren't strong enough, then the answer is no. This practice will open up more time in your life for the things that matter to you and will make you aware of unconscious people pleasing habits you may have.
