Saying Yes When You Mean To Say No - September 16

Have you ever caught yourself saying “yes” when deep down you wanted to say “no”? In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz recalls a visit to a deli where she walked away with things she didn’t even want—simply because old patterns of insecurity and self-doubt took over. She now sees the whole experience as a lighthearted nudge from the Universe, reminding her of the importance of staying grounded before responding.

Thanks Liz. 🙏🏼
I can relate to that.
I find myself intimidated by officious people and I lose my sense of groundedness.
I like how you say it is a reminder as once we are aware we can become more affective.
I had a situation today with a place on Airbnb which sounded too good to be true, and one part of me was reminding myself of that saying ‘ if it sounds too good to be true ‘ and another part of me was saying ‘ yeah but maybe thst is just an old saying and you can challenge yourself on it’
Then I asked myself what my inner compass was feelingsnd the feeling was to just leave it and trust what I want will come along.
I still feel though that I would like to challenge that old saying of ‘ if it sounds to good to be true ‘ but I do not want to make a financial and emotional mistake if I did book the Airbnb.

I struggle to be authentic all the time! It’s like I default to pleasing others and forget to go deep and decide what I really want! Thanks for the pep talk Liz!

Ah yes, I hear you, definitely a pot-hole I fall into frequently. But I love your thinking that those “lapses” give us the opportunity to be aware and to practice.
