#8: Why Saying Yes Means Saying No - a podcast by Heather Joy Hubbard: Speaker, Attorney, Coach, Changemaker

How many of you try to be everything to everyone? If you struggle with saying No, (like I used to), or feel guilty when you do, then you’ll love this episode. Today I share how making conscious decisions will allow you to respond, rather than react, to the opportunities that are presented to you. 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: 

• For every Yes, there is at least one No 
  
•  You need to give yourself permission to make better choices and decisions 
  
• There’s only a finite amount of time in each day, yet an infinite amount of ways to fill it  
  
• How when it comes to our time, there is ALWAYS a trade-off  
  
• How your self-care time, even it’s just watching TV, matters… 
  
• Where do you start when trying to gain awareness, and how does it relate to mindfulness?  
  
• What happens when you’re not engaged in, or passionate about, volunteering 
  
• A way to gracefully say No, all while giving someone else a chance to do something  
  
• Why I very rarely accept lunch invitations for the middle of the day  
  
• Never say Yes on the spot!   
  

And much more!
