I used to say yes to everything—helping a friend, taking on extra projects, even agreeing to go places I didn’t want to be. But all those yeses left me feeling drained and overwhelmed. Then, one day, I realized: I don’t have to do everything. Saying “no” became my superpower. It didn’t mean I was being rude—it just meant I was prioritizing myself. By saying no to things that drained me, I made room for things that truly mattered and started feeling more in control. If you feel like your plate is always full, try saying no to one thing today. It’s a game-changer.
