                    202: You don’t need to know all the answers right now

                    Today I’m reminding you that it’s okay to sit with indecision, it’s okay to change your mind, and that you don’t need to know all the answers right now.

                     
                     

                    Episode transcript:

                    Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. You're listening to the Daily Pep, which is the only daily podcast for creative, multi, passionate and rebellious women who want to make shit happen and get out of their own way. So I just want to kick off this Thursday with a reminder that I think we all need, and it's this. You do not have to have all the answers right now. I think it's fair to say that so many of us struggle with making decisions. There are things that we feel like we need to know by now, things that we desperately want answers to that maybe aren't that clear to us, and there always just seems to be something that we need to decide about. But today I really just want to help you take the pressure off, because the reality is you don't need to know all the answers right now. You don't need to make all the decisions by now.

                    And actually, it's okay to sit within decision and not force one if it's not immediately obvious. One of the most challenging things when it comes to making decisions is is this idea of permanence and is this idea of once you've made your decision, that's it. So I also want to remind you today that it is okay to change your mind. It's okay not to have all the answers, and it's okay to take longer to decide. The truth is that you have all the answers you need inside you, but sometimes they take a while to pop up, and sometimes it is a case of external things happening that seem to help point the way a bit. So if you've got any decisions you're making lately, if there's anything you feel pressured to decide upon, know that it really is okay not to have all the answers right this second. This time of the year is already full of so much pressure, and you just don't need more pressure that you pile on yourself. It's also okay to make unpopular decisions, and it's okay to make decisions for you because that's ultimately what most of them are, decisions about your life and your own direction.

                    Here's to daring to listen and find your own answers. And here's to knowing that it is okay to change your mind. Whatever you've got on your plate today, I hope you have a good one. I hope you get at least five minutes to yourself, and I hope you know that you matter, because you really do. I can't wait to be back with you bright and early tomorrow morning as normal. Until then, take care.

                                      192: The opposite of yes

                                      Today we're looking at the flip side of saying yes and what it tends to mean for our empathetic, big-hearted selves.

                                       
                                       
                                       

                                      Episode transcript:

                                      Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. You're listening to the Daily Pep. And if you need a dose of Rebel Rousing, if you need a bit of encouragement, and if you're a bit sick of standing in your own way, you've come to the right podcast. So around here, I think it's a fair generalization to say that we are the helpers, we are the empaths, and we like to make a difference. And in a lot of ways, those are huge superpowers of ours. And in other ways, it can lead to some pretty people pleasing tendencies, and I say this with both hands firmly raised in the air. So today, I wanna share something which has been a huge game changer for me, and it's this idea of the opposite of yes or the flip side of yes. Now when it comes to any requests that come our way, anybody asking us to do things, or any demands on our time and energy, it can be really hard to say no.

                                      It can feel selfish to put ourselves first. And let's face it, as women, we're socialized with people pleasers to always put others before ourselves, and I think that's where a lot of this kind of selfish narrative comes into it. But I think something really starts to change when you realize that when you say yes to something, you're also saying no to something else. And the thing that we're usually saying no to is ourselves. We honor the score when it comes to things that we do for ourselves. They are the first thing to escape off the bottom of our to do list. They are the first thing to go when we're busy or overwhelmed. And it's often the first thing we sacrifice when we're saying yes to other things.

                                      And while it can feel good at the time to say yes to things and get that kind of validation and appreciation, which I know isn't why we say yes, we genuinely want to help, but we can't escape the fact that it often comes with it. We also know the bitter other side of it where our internal monologue is like, why did you say yes? Come on. I thought we weren't gonna do this anymore. And we're really regretting saying yes. And also, I know I've definitely been in the place where I say yes to way too many things in the aims of being helpful. And I say this with compassion, if you've ever been in this place, let's not judge ourselves. I've definitely ended up disappointing people because I couldn't do it all. And looking back, it was kind of inevitable because the amount of things I was saying yes to, well, I'm not Superwoman, and neither are you and that's okay.

                                      The thing is it takes courage to accept your limitations. It is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that you have a huge heart and it needs to be protected. If you struggle with saying no, I seriously recommend the book, The Curse of Lovely by Jacqui Marson. It has changed so much for me. And there's one tip I remember, and it's always stuck with me. And it's this idea of when somebody asks you to do something, instead of immediately saying yes, which is a new enough automatic reaction, just take a pause. Give yourself a second to think.


                                      And if you're not sure whether you want to do it, it's okay to say I'll get back to you on that. So, yeah, really recommend that book. And just for today, let's remember that everything we say yes to has a flip side, and the opposite of yes is usually saying no to ourselves. And I think it's about damn time we started saying yes to ourselves too Because you matter just as much as all the other people in your life. You matter just as much as all the causes you're fighting for. You matter, full stop. So here's to saying yes to yourself, and my challenge for you this week is to find one way you can say yes to yourself and really claim that. So I hope you have a fabulous Thursday. And remember that everything changes when you believe you matter. And that can start with saying no to some things and yes to yourself. See you tomorrow.
