Hell Yeah or No

❓ How often do you do things that you don't enjoy?
❓ How often do you do things because you don't want to disappoint other people, such as your spouse, your parents, your children, your boss, your coworker, people you don't even know because you firmly believe that they are watching your back?
❓ What if you choose to only do the things that give you joy, meaning and purpose?

I used to be a people pleaser because I was taught to be other-centered ever since I was a little girl. I did things that pleased others but depleted my own energy well. I stayed in unhealthy relationships because I didn't want to hurt other people. In turn, I hurt myself.

Now, I use this principle for my decision making, especially the major ones. "Hell Yeah or No" (Derek Sivers) - If it's not a hell yeah, then it's a no.

disclaimer: This is the only situation I have been using the word "hell".

Try it! Let me know how it works for you.
