This week, I’m giving you an exclusive sneak peek into a chapter of my book, The Joy of Missing Out, that’s all about finding your yes. Oftentimes, the pledge of doing #allofthethings can lead us into spending our time doing things that we don’t necessarily love or that don’t actually matter to us. This chapter teaches you how to sort through the noise in life and uncommit to the things that don’t bring you joy. I share what your yes should feel like, why quitting doesn’t equate to failure, and how to prioritize ourselves by learning to say no.
