There’s a lot of talk about saying “yes” to life and yet also setting down proper boundaries in your life to make sure one is staying healthy and positive, especially during the Holiday season.

It’s important to say yes to opportunities, yet it’s also important to say no to things that don’t feel right to you. How do you pick and choose?

That Aunt who is calling you three times a day who you just dont have a time for? You have an opportunity to go to a new restaurant but say no because you’re loyal to a different restaurant on Friday nights? How do you decide when to say yes and no to all of these options?

It’s all about using your discretion. Make time for the things that matter, and say no to the things that don’t. Make a list of the ways you want to spend your time, and prioritize the things that mean the most to you.

Life is a balancing act, and I strongly suggest taking a “minimalist” point of view if you are overwhelmed this holiday season. The website nosidebar.com has some fantastic minimalist tips from the famous minimalist guru Joshua Becker.

On the contrary, feel like a stick in the mud? Say yes to the dress, metaphorically. Try something new and dont forget to pan yes to new opportunities that come your way!

Happy Holidays, loves.
