Listen. Because listening’s important:
Hi and welcome to the Re-Enchant Your Life reminder.
Your sacred pause in the day where you’re encouraged to take a moment to stop and tune into your inner wisdom and become present, so that you can reconnect to your personal power and confidently embrace who you’re becoming, as you Re-Enchant Your life and create the change you truly desire.
Today you’re being reminded to give yourself permission to cancel things.
Instead of putting something off for days, weeks or possibly months, you can just cancel it.
Too much of your energy is wasted when you put off, delay and postpone those things that you don’t want to do, and will possibly end up cancelling much further down the line anyway.
The same goes for saying ‘Yes’ to things that you have no, or very little, intention of doing or attending.
Cancelling or saying ‘No’ immediately, frees up your energy to focus on the things that you are actually going to do.
Whereas postponing or saying ‘Yes’ knowing that you will end up sending last minute apologies, keeps your energy attached to the situation, constantly draining you little by little. Always having to be reminded of it.
Whereas a cancelling it or saying ‘No’, keeps your energy running free and clear.
Pause, and take a breath. As you give yourself permission to cancel things.
Today’s SHEro Action:
Today’s SHEro action is to assess any commitments or activities that you have postponed more than twice.
Perhaps these are tasks that you have carried forward in your diary or planner for more than a month.
Or events or meetings that you keep changing the date of.
Consider if these things are really still aligned with you.
Would you feel a sense of relief if you just cancelled them altogether?
If they still need to be done, but you really don’t want to do them, could you outsource them?
Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to say ‘No’.
Today’s Affirmation:
“I free myself from commitments that drain me”
I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,
In the meantime, enjoy feeling freer on Your SHEro’s Journey!
PostScript
How many times have you said ‘Yes’ to something because in the moment you felt obliged to or didn’t know how to say ‘no’?
Perhaps you thought you ‘should’ do it or were worried that you would let someone down if you didn’t.
So, you say ‘Yes’, and then dream up ways to get out of it as the date gets closer and closer.
And as the date continues to get closer it becomes harder and harder to back out.
Perhaps you do give a last-minute apology, or you do go and end up resenting it.
Either isn’t fair on you or the person or event that you’re wanting to cancel on.
Practice saying ‘No’, so that when you’re asked to do or attend something that you really don’t want and need to attend, you can say ‘No’ politely and immediately, with your energy aligned, so that everyone involved knows where they stand, leaving you free to do and think about other things.
