This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast we discuss why it's challenging for women to say Yes less and how you can start.
Here are the highlights:
- Are you the person who says Yes more often than you'd like to? Does saying No feel uncomfortable to you? Do you cringe at the thought of other people being disappointed or unhappy with you? Do you worry about what other people will think or say if you said Yes less? You're not alone.
- You've been getting messages and programming that your brain has stored your entire life, culminating into a lot of your habits, especially the habit of saying Yes.
- You just need to look at the #METOO movement and you can see how challenging it can be for women to say No, and how strongly we've been conditioned to say Yes, especially to those in power.
- Being a good person doesn't mean saying Yes when you really want to say No, because if you think about it, you're actually lying.
- No matter how long you've been saying Yes to others and No to yourself, you can learn how to choose you.
