This quote recently caught my attention. It's my nature to try and please and help others and say yes. Like many women and moms, we say yes to things even when we may not really have our hearts into them. When that happens we get emotionally and physically drained. We and our loved ones can suffer, and no room is left for the true things we want and need.
I was just asked to teach yoga at a really great place. I have wanted this in the past. When I finally got the call, my heart did not leap with joy. I started fretting. Not that I wasn't thrilled about the offer, I love sharing my passion for yoga with others. It would be making my plate too full at this time.

This is great - I've made February my month of "no" too by shutting down my google reader with the exception of a few select blogs. There were just SO many "shoulds" flying my way it was becoming overwhelming. I'm going to just do what I feel is right in the moment and stop listening to all those "should" vampires. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteWow Patty~ thank you for your reply. I was a little nervous to post it. I get attacked by the swirling should vampires and I am slowly learning it's ok to make things smooth and simpler.
