Someone asks you for a favor.
You feel your shoulders tighten. You hold your breath. And before youโve checked in with yourself, you hear yourself say, โOf course.โ
That familiar response can happen quicklyโeven when youโve promised yourself youโll stop taking on so much.
Noticing those sensations can remind you to pause.
What am I feeling?
What works for me?
Do I need more time before I answer?
You donโt have to know immediately.
โIโd like to think about that before I answerโ gives you a moment to listen to yourself.
Your answer may still be yes. But now youโve given your own needs a place in the decision.
