Today its Wishcasting Wednesday and Jamie asks us:
What do you wish to say no to?
What a powerful wish that is. My first thought was fear. Fear of new things, new circumstances, in thinking I am not good enough for any of the many things I try in this life. I also wish to say no to limiting beliefs and I guess fear is included in that too. The world is full of possibility and I choose to welcome all of it into my life.
Then I started to think of NO in different terms. You know when someone asks you to do something and at the time you feel, oh yes I'd be happy to help, or yes, I can do that thing. Its afterward that you realize how much time its going to take or the amount of stress it will add to your life. Its at this point you realize you should have said no but now its too late. You tell yourself next time I won't do that, I will just say no. Then you do it again. So I wish to say no to things that do not serve me in the long run and I wish to make those decisions quickly and easily.
Why don't you join in today, just what do you wish to say NO to.....

Kate, your post is so true...often I have said yes thinking that I can be there, or do that, or wouldn't that be wonderful to be apart of.
ReplyDeleteI signed up for the Art journaling group, and the truth is I am on overload just trying to think of things to do with the daily promts...Yikes! I think desire has overwhelmed my head!!! Love, Mary
As Kate wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes, to get past the fear, you just have to jump on in.
ReplyDeleteOn another blog, a writer suggested, "what if we gave up self-doubt for lent." Talk about getting rid of limiting beliefs!
I love your writer's group blog. It would be wonderful to have something like that where I live.
