Saying No is Saying Yes to Something Else

This week I’ve had a bunch of YESES.

Yes, I want to book a float in a sensory deprivation tank = No, I don’t want this shoulder pain anymore.
Yes, 3 new clients want to work with me = No, I won’t use that time for something else.
Yes, I’m buying that new jumpsuit just because it speaks to me = No, I won’t use that money for something else.

But it has also included a bunch of NOES.

No, I don’t want to do the photoshoot I booked anymore = Yes, I want to reduce my stress levels.
No, someone on my team doesn’t want to stay = Yes, I want to take over their work for a while.
No, I don’t want to be part of that community any longer = Yes, I want to surround myself with positive people.

Every yes is a no. Every no is a yes.
