What Are You Giving Up?
When you are at a dinner party, networking event or golf outing, do you feel like you should be somewhere else? With your husband, children or parent? Or vice versa - when you are spending time with your children do you feel like you should be attending that dinner party?
To calm the feeling of, "I should be doing this," decide what you truly want out of life - and who you want to spend time with. This is going to require you to say no to some things. However, if you say no to one thing you are really saying yes to another. You will be saying yes to what you want in your heart of hearts.
If you want to spend time with your husband and children, you will be saying no to evening events or activities that occur when your children and husband are home. You will be saying yes to them. Sure, you may feel some guilt. That will be replaced with knowing that you are truly where you are meant to be.
If you are passionate about a non-profit in your community and want to spend the bulk of your time helping but find yourself at other events - say no to the other events and say yes to the non-profit.
So think about this - where do you truly want to spend your time? When you have your answer and start saying no to what is not your true passion and yes to what is you, will no longer feel that feeling of, "I should be at _____________." You will know without a doubt you are exactly where you should be. Calm and focus will follow.
So............what are you giving up?
