Saying Yes In Saying No

"No." It could be the most important statement you make in any one day, one moment, or one choice. Often people will see how great of a resource you are, how they can benefit from your input or influence, and even more often, some will have no self-restriction when it comes to deciding whether or not to use you all up. The good news is that they can only do it if you let them. "No" is universally one of the first words children learn. It is an essential part of their rearing, safety, and survival. Adults must re-establish the importance of 'no' in their every day life. Re-learn how to say 'no' and embrace the freedom that comes with it- not the guilt. Sure, you may be able and willing to help others, but you must also be mindful of what is best for you. Consciously maintain the balance between your ability and availability. Take a moment to pause and check-in within yourself and only say yes to what works in you. Your answer inside is always looking out for your best interest. Never be ashamed of being in the business of protecting your own well because your first responsibility is to yourself.

Feeling Stagnant? Get Unstuck...

Pray first. Then, count your blessings because gratitude and anxiety cannot share the same space. Now, prepare to shake things up. Take a trip. Take a drive. Take a walk or simply step outside. Close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth so you can smell and taste the air. Focus on the beating of your own heart. That sweet rhythm... let it be a calm and steady reminder that your presence is important and your Being is enough. Then, intentionally create more joy every chance you get.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Let Go Like Elsa

Know when it is time to cut ties with the the ignorant, the indecent, classless, dramatic, disrespectful, and the delusional- let them go. Let them be and fester amongst themselves. Refuse to give them the audience they crave. Know when you are above the fray, and act accordingly. Remain elevated. Remember that you are pragmatic, motivated, sophisticated, and celebrated among those that truly know you. Be dutifully at work on your greatness and betterment- be better and move on. ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

I.Y.K.Y.K.

They will always think what they want, and there is nothing you can do about it. Now, you be the judge. Judge for yourself. Look yourself in the mirror and answer to you. Everyone else's take is just their opinion. The ideas they have formed about who they think you are have nothing to do with you, who you are, or who you are becoming. Even for the people that matter, whose opinions you hope are positive and at the very least, pragmatic- they only know some of your depth. Even they can not attest to your every challenge, consideration, conquest, desire or fear. Speak for yourself and speak up. Make sure you get your attention, and get to the business of being someone you would speak highly of.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!
