Stuff you actually want to read about from Pam Moore
Hi ,
Yes is sexy. Yes is exciting. Yes is potential. But you know what's overrated and maybe even better than Yes?
NO.
No can be just as scary, if not scarier than yes.
Saying no to a potential client when my gut is telling me it's not a fit is me telling the universe I believe I'm worthy of a better client and I'm confident they'll come into my life.
Saying no to a low-paying assignment means having faith that I can sell my idea elsewhere or that I'm creating space for another, more lucrative opportunity.
Saying no to going out with friends is honoring my need to recharge instead of prioritizing my desire to avoid FOMO.
Saying no to everyone else means saying yes to myself. I don't know what's more empowering than that.
My relationship with NO hit a huge turning point when I stopped trying to lose weight. Up to that point, most of my workouts and food choices were based on shoulds.I should order the salad because I didn’t work out this morning. I should run extra because I’m going out to dinner later. I shouldn't have the dessert.
When I started focusing on what kinds of movement and food would nourish my body, everything shifted. I realized the answers to every question about my body were inside of me. They weren’t in a magazine, an app, or someone else’s Instagram post. I’d known them all along but I hadn’t been willing to listen.
As it turned out, once I turned inward to the answers about how I wanted to move and eat, it became a hell of a lot easier to turn inward when I had questions about work, relationships, and everything else.
