Yes or No

We feel guilty if we don't show up for something, we feel forced into doing things, we tend to do things just to appease others.  What we end up doing is neglecting ourselves and what we truly desire or need.  We stop saying no to focus on what others want and we constantly say yes because we are afraid of the aftermath.  Most times it is just easy enough to forget what it is we want and say yes or no based on what we think others want or expect from us.  We spend a lifetime on focusing on making our families happy, impressing our bosses at work, showing up and being the best of the best for our friends and end up exhausting ourselves over making everyone else happy.  We say yes because we are afraid of losing the next big project at work when all we want to do is say no.  We say no to spending more time with friends over family when all we want to do is hang out with them too.  We try to find some sort of balance within our lives to make everyone else happy that we end up unhappy and miserable ourselves.  We lose sight of middle ground.  

Find the time in your day and give yourself permission to say yes or no. Find some peace within yourself.  Quiet your mind and listen to what your body is telling you.  Slow down and hear the voice inside you guiding you towards what it is you want.  I grant you permission tonight, tomorrow and always to find the peace, the middle ground and the ability to say yes or no.  I grant you to accept the decision you make and be free of all worries.
