“If you’re a meeting planner who’s already maxed out your capacity to handle high stress, who’s not taking care of your own well-being, how do you have the space in your mind to take care of your clients?”
The Sunday before I flew to Sedona, Arizona, for a Body & Brain Wellness experience at Sedona Mago Center for Well-being and Retreat, I had an emotional breakdown.
Ever since I was little, I’ve been a go-getter and a people-pleaser, which—to my own demise—made me a “yes” person. I’m afraid of failure, and of letting people down, and I’ve convinced myself that saying “no” to any opportunity to advance personally and professionally will be a huge mistake I’ll regret forever.
So, I say “yes” to everything, and lately, I’ve been regretting that more than the possibilities of what will happen if I don’t.
