Are You A Rapid Responder?

Hi beautiful people,

I have a question for you…..

How many times a day do you say yes to people?

And how quickly do you respond?

Do you give an immediate yes? Then later wish you hadn’t?

For years I was guilty of doing this. And I became known as the person who always said yes. Ask Lynn, she’ll do it; and I did.

Until I learned about boundaries.

Until I learned that my time was special too.

Until I learned that it’s ok to say no.

Until I learned that I am not here to fix anyone.

Until I learned that I don’t have a magic wand for everyone.

Until I learned to value myself.

Until I learned to stop being a people pleaser.

Until I learned to stop seeking the approval of others.

Until I learned to love myself.

It is SO IMPORTANT to have boundaries.

It is so important to give yourself space before you commit to something.

If we say yes to everything and then later regret that yes, we then do whatever it is from a place of resentment rather than a place of love.

My invitation to you is to give yourself that space before committing to something by saying something like:

• Can I get back to you by the end of the week?
• Let me check my diary and I will get back to you in a couple of days
• Let me think about that and I will get back to you by the end of the week
• I never say yes to anything straightaway so leave it with me and I will get back to you in a couple of days

This will then give you time to ask yourself if this is something you really want to do. And if it is, great!! Say yes!! If it’s not then say no.

Most people are afraid to say no because they fear the other person’s reaction/response. If you say no and the other person reacts badly then this has NOTHING to do with you. It’s their stuff.

If you feel you would like to have healthier boundaries then I have a wonderful online course available on my website: https://lynnmeadowcroft.com/honouring-boundaries/

You get access to the course for 3 months and can work at your own pace and do the course as many times as you wish.

You can also save your work which is a great way to reflect on your progress.

Sending you all so much love from my heart to yours.

Lynn
