Learn to say no

A hand holding a card with hand-written text saying "LEARN TO SAY NO"

I drew this card as a reminder for myself a couple of years ago, and every few months I have to pull it out and stare at it for a few minutes while sitting quietly and slowly inhaling and exhaling.

Saying no has always been one of the hardest things for me to do. But the older I get, the more I realize how important it is. We’re all human and everyone has limits.

And that’s okay.
