Ep. 222 | How to Stop Saying Yes to Things You'll Regret

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

About five years ago I was deep in a yoga retreat phase, and an email came in about one, and I read half of it. Then I put down the full deposit that same afternoon, glowing. Ready, fire, aim.  Then the actual directions showed up: fasting, no caffeine, rigorous exercise with no breaks. A boot camp with incense.  So I called my spiritual advisor Bessie looking for sympathy, and instead she handed me the guideline I've run my life on ever since. This is an episode about why the fast yes isn't a decision at all. Question to carry into your day: What are you about to say yes to that hasn't had a full day to become yours? Want to work together? Me too! Book a discovery call and let's talk about whether the Stop Starting Over System is right for you. https://link.mollycarmel.com/widget/bookings/mc-discoverycall  Let's Stay Connected:  Subscribe on YouTube Instagram: @mollycarmel Check out my Pocket Sages on my Amazon Storefront Questions or want to share your story?
