It’s okay to change your yes to a no.
Yes’s aren’t permanent.
They’re something we choose again and again,
each and every day.
Something we have the right to recall and reconsider
as soon as saying yes no longer feels
conducive to our wellbeing and happiness.
Changing your yes to a no might make people angry.
It might hurt their feelings,
cause them to see you as a flake,
and result in lost connections.
But if saying no means staying true to yourself,
honoring your feelings, and making self-care a priority, it’s worth it.
You are worth it. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
