They get anxiety.

They get stressed out.

They got to take medication.

It's wild what people will do to themselves.

So instead of saying yes to everything because we think it's a game of addition, it's actually a game of subtraction.

It's removing things out of your life so you can focus on the things that are actually going to move it forward.

The skill I would invite you to consider is a very deep scientific and powerful skill called the art of saying no.

No is a complete sentence and it ends with a period.

You don't have to give a reason.

You can just check in with your heart and say, if it doesn't resonate, it's a no.

My wife and I have this very simple rule.

If it isn't a heck yeah, it's a hell no.

If somebody's asking you to do something and that thing would be today or tonight, and the answer would be no, then I don't care if it's in six months, make it a hard no.

It's better to close the loops by making a decision, not leaving them open.

See that two minute rule coming into play?

then to leave it as a maybe.

You will stress yourself out around maybes.

If you would jump out of bed to go do the thing that you're being asked to do, then yeah, do it.

If it's a no, just say no.

Put yourself first.
