1、I spent all of my 30s saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I didn't like. This was a people-pleasing technique. I thought it would speed up people's opinion of me: the woman who could do it all.
At the time, I thought I was killing it. I was making new friends and developing new interests. I joined the board of my children's school and packed my days with around 20 other activities to do. And then several events changed everything: pandemic restrictions (疫情限制), serious medical problems and losing my job. All these helped me see how burnt out I was.
All at once, I realized how good it felt not to be busy every second of every day. For the first time, I could carefully choose how I spent my days. Having to say no turned into the beauty of choosing to say no. Looking back, the pressure to say yes and smile was my choice. I felt obliged (有义务的) to say yes, from driving people to the airport to exchanging a carpool day, from attending charity events to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone's problems and offered good solutions. I was everyone's cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way.
But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it's not saying no to caring for family and friends, or helping someone out when they're in a pinch. Instead, it's a small change in mindset, taking a pause before agreeing. I take a breath, and check my energy and ability before jumping in.
Most importantly, I tell my kids there's nothing wrong with saying no. To give of yourself is important but to save yourself is important, too.
