Yo, today's QOTS!

I really appreciate you asking, but I can't do that.

Here we go!

Welcome back to the QOTS!

This really isn't our typical motivation Monday talk.

I wanted to present this clip to you today because it's Monday.

I want you to try this one on to put this one in to practice starting today.

And what she's going to talk about is setting boundaries.

Saying no, declining invitations, stopping doing things that you really don't want to do and don't have time to do.

If you want to get things done, if you want to clear things off of your plate because so many of us are just incredibly overwhelmed,

we have to practice saying no.

We have to say, hey, I really appreciate you asking, but I can't do that.

Is it uncomfortable?

Yes.

But like she says, you got to choose discomfort over resentment.

And that's what we get when we say yes to opportunities that we should be declining.

We feel resentful.

And we get mad at ourselves.

Like, why did I say yes to this?

And then we get mad at other people and it just causes this vicious circle when at first we could have just said no.

Brunei Brown's coming up.

And so to me, when we're talking about authenticity, we're talking about a practice of again, the theme recurring over and over of letting ourselves be seen.
