Why Saying No Can Be a Kindness to Yourself and Others EP 135

I wanted to write about why saying yes isn’t always the best thing but I was having a hard time getting my head around it. It worried me that everyone might not like to say yes so I was not sure if this would be relevant. Then I checked my email and James Clear (of Atomic Habits fame) write this: A philosophy I heard recently and have found useful: "We look for reasons to say yes and only say no when we have to." Reading that helped me hone in on what I want to say about being a yes person.
