The Power of Saying No (Without Explaining Yourself)…

Before you even think about saying no, notice how many quiet agreements you’ve made with your own exhaustion. The extra project you accepted even though you were already behind. The weekend plans you didn’t want but couldn’t bring yourself to refuse. The late-night text you answered while your body begged for rest.

Somewhere along the way, you learned that your time is negotiable, your energy is disposable, and your worth is proven by how much you can give without hesitation.
