Start planning for summer now by saying "NO" today. On a gloomy, rainy spring day and it is easy to say "YES" to things that seem to be more palatable in gray weather or when kids are in school. When making in plans this spring, remember the "summer factor"! Are you still going to want to do this on a beautiful summer day, when the kids are out of school?
Actually, applying that "summer factor" thinking to all of your decision making might help you "edit" things out that are less desirable and lead you more purposeful living. Remember every time you say �YES� to something, you are saying "NO"to another.
Many times we find our selves making "life additions" with out making any �life subtractions�. You may have been a very busy mother of one child, and had a full plate. As time goes on, you add more children, their activities, committees, more friends, more family and you feel overwhelmed. There are lots of life additions, but where is the subtraction?
I always say "You can only do ten things well---pick your Top 10". Say no to anything that falls below that line until you catch up on those ten! Knowing what is important makes everyday more meaningful, now insert sunshine into your decision making to help you focus on what's important!
