Our "yes" to requests of our time, energy and commitment may tend to feel automatic. Today's mediation helps us learn the importance of reflecting and taking a deep breath before saying yes to something—and a practice to help you get used to it.

Takeaways:

1- We all struggle with people-pleasing needs to say "yes" more often than we'd truly like to.

2- Make it a 3-second yes instead.

3- Ask yourself: do I really have the time for this? Is this worth a yes? And what is my gut telling me?

Daily Mantra: I reflect before I say yes.
