Sometimes our life becomes so full and occupied leaving us no space to breath simply because we said yes. Not every request deserves a yes. Every invitation doesn’t need a yes. Not every hang out needs a yes. We need to learn to say no. Say no to things that do not speak to you at a personal level. Say no to things that you have no time for. Saying no allows you create more space for the important things. And really, that is what matters.
De-cluttering your home and space.
