I had an awareness recently about the situations that trigger me to say “yes” when I want to say “no.” For the most part, I follow my intuitive guide and make my choices in the moment based on how they feel. There are still, however, those situations that stir up my need to be loved and avoid confrontation. The reality is that every choice is ok and every choice gives us the opportunity to learn. At times, we learn through pain and at other times, we learn through joy. Rather than beat myself for the missed “no”, I reflect on the situation, identify the trigger and do my best in the next moment.
