What And Who To Say NO To
Welcome to Season 2 of Intelligent Intoxication: Crafting A Top-Shelf Life.
“We have activities we engage in and people we interact with. Some of those activities and relationships energize us and we feel lit up, alive and inspired while doing them or when we’re with them. Others drain and deplete our energy and we feel exhausted, tapped out, saturated.”
(Inspired/Paraphrased by Feroshia Knight.)
Our goal is to tell ourselves the truth regarding which of our professional/personal activities and relationships energize or deplete us.
- Make a list of your personal and professional activities. Personal activities may include:
- Chores
Professional activities may include:
- Tasks
Next to each activity, place a + sign if it energizes you, and a - sign if it depletes you.
Identify what the energizing activities share in common.
Discern what the depleting/draining activities have in common.
Identify the immediate, temporary benefit you get from saying YES to activities that drain you.
Identify what saying YES to activities that drain you is costing you long- term.
Identify the long-term benefit you get from saying YES to activities that energize you.
Identify the temporary cost to saying NO to things that don’t energize you.
Decide what to do with the draining activities:
- ditching it
- Make a list of your personal and professional relationships. Personal relationships may include:
- wives/husbands/partners
- Professional relationships may include:
- Bosses
- Next to each name, place a + sign if the relationship energizes you, and a - sign if the relationship depletes you.
If a relationship drains or depletes you, you can consider:
- Dissolving or ending it
I invite you to consider these questions in regard to your personal and professional activities and relationships:
- Does this activity energize me?
