This is an IHeart podcast.

Dear listener, how are you?

How are you feeling today?

And really pause before you respond.

Obviously, I can't hear you, but even before you respond internally, really think about

how you're doing. I think we live

in a world where we're accustomed to just saying what's right, what sounds right, what we're

used to, versus really just saying, you know, I'm all right today. I could be better.

Today's not a good day, but tomorrow will be.

Kind of like the Carol G song.

Manana Serra Bonito.

I love that.

So much hope in that song.

Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk to you guys about.

I wanted to talk to you about the word no.

If you listen to Jee Gies and Chill, you know that I talk a lot about this small little powerful word. I was working out. I'm on my way home from the gym, actually. I woke up

this morning at 5 o'clock. I did my meditation. I did my red light therapy. I feel really good.

Had a really good workout. And as I was stretching, I was

thinking about the word no and how I wanted to tell you guys about it. And I'm sure you know this.

I just wanted to remind you, it is okay for you to say no. We don't want to disappoint people, especially the people that we love.

I think it's easier to say no to people that we don't like, that we don't enjoy being around.

But with people that we love, we tend to overextend ourselves. And that causes a lot of issues within ourselves internally.
