When You Say Yes but Need to Say No
Briefly

The article discusses how saying yes when you actually want to say no is a common issue that leads to self-abandonment and eventual burnout. Many individuals, out of fear or habit, agree to things that disconnect them from their needs and emotions. This disconnection not only results in stress but also can diminish the sense of meaning and joy in life. The importance of setting boundaries is emphasized, as it helps individuals reconnect with their energy and authentic selves.
Burnout isn't just fatigue; it's a feeling of losing oneself where the sense of meaning and joy diminishes, signaling self-abandonment.
Saying yes when you mean no creates disconnection from your true self, leading to symptoms of tension, guilt, and ultimately, burnout.
