I've felt the same way as I prepare to close out one year of 12 x 12 and launch another, get ready to launch my app, AND get through not only the holidays but prepare for both of my kids to have birthdays in January - same month as my app releases.<br /><br />Thank you for reminding me that it's okay if everything doesn't get done. Nobody can do everything, be perfect and surpass every expectation that's available to be surpassed. If we're like Preston and just keep moving in the right direction, eventually we'll get there. :-)Julie Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477115458570906449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176180375855419631.post-12023521134739389052012-12-02T03:25:11.695-08:002012-12-02T03:25:11.695-08:00Great post.

I am definitely learning the art of discerning which things to say yes to, and more creative ways to say no. :-)<br /><br />And those cookie parties can be brutal! I was once invited to one where they even specified that bar cookies and candy were not valid contributions. Apparently it was considered disrespectful to the other cookie-bakers to make something that took less time and effort. Seriously?<br /><br />Oops, I deleted my comment, too.

Here it is again.
M...Ack, I made my post disappear. Here it is again.<br />My kids will tell you I say NO to everything, when in fact...they are ...um...probably right. As the mom of four and one who's been at this Mom thing for a LOOOOONNNG time, I'm trying to train my friend, a young(er) mother to say NO to all the stupid stuff she says YES to. She thinks I'm hilarious because I can find an easy and truthful way to say NO a lot. I am definitely not Wonder Woman; I don't want to be W.W., and most of the people who are like that bug me anyway. I've learned the hard way that saying YES to everything wears you thin, and I ditch out my YES answers sparingly, and keep them for when they come from the heart. Compromise works many times, and my favorite compromise is YES, but I'll do it later. <br />Wait, what was the question? Oh, the last time I felt good about a NO. If I had to pick one, it would be the time I was "told" to bake 4 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange. Sure, I can bake. Sure, I don't WANT to bake. I have no time. And btw, YES, I'd love to come to your cookie party, but NO, I'm not gonna bake my way into your party. I showed up with store bought cookies, was the brunt of many silly neighborhood jokes, and still got to share wine and good times with friends. :)<br /><br />Nancy Viauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465242396884604484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176180375855419631.post-10539376127418054682012-11-30T19:10:55.377-08:002012-11-30T19:10:55.377-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nancy Viauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465242396884604484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176180375855419631.post-62690001000885987032012-11-30T13:42:24.290-08:002012-11-30T13:42:24.290-08:00haha!

It would've been so simple to say yes, but there's SO much else I'd rather do on a Monday afternoon. So I said, "I don't do the airport. You'll have to figure out a Plan B for that one..." I don't do the airport! I don't even know what that means, but it worked.

I recently was asked to volunteer for a senatorial campaign, and actually got up the gumption to say 'no.' It was a very busy time -- Halloween (for which I was unprepared), my birthday, and a time when I had some writing and school commitments. And I'm not that politically active and really hadn't followed the campaign much. But still, saying 'no' to that haunted me What would the other volunteers think of me? Was I being small minded thinking that only my home and school life mattered? If the candidate lost, wouldn't it be ALL MY FAULT??? Literally, on election day I was sweating bullets thinking that I had personally ruined the candidate's chances of winning by saying 'no.' But I'm so glad I did because if I hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the other things going on in my life, and probably wouldn't have finished my October manuscript -- failing my own personal commitment. Oh, and the candidate won.

It comes straight from your heart, and speaks to the reality for many of us who struggle to say no. <br /><br />As an ENFJ, people-pleasing machine, I usually want to say yes to everything. And often, I feel very capable at doing everything. But since becoming a parent, my limits are way more evident. I'm more tired, have less emotional energy, have less time - so I've been saying more no's. Usually I say no to activities or people that don't quite fit into my "Really Important" category of life. Like that social event that sounds fun in theory, but would make our weekend way to hectic and overwhelming. I'm trying to shape my life around saying yes to the people and things that really matter to me. Currently, that includes God, my family, a handful of friends, exercise, and creative space.Larissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690789194619561508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176180375855419631.post-87814766512223405842012-11-30T10:44:39.155-08:002012-11-30T10:44:39.155-08:00Love this: "You weren't gonna stop for it...Love this: "You weren't gonna stop for it, so it kindly stopped for you." <br /><br />Word.Amy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603444232866340533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176180375855419631.post-85418240539130574172012-11-30T10:43:53.308-08:002012-11-30T10:43:53.308-08:00Hi Iza!
