How Much Do You Say No To Yourself?
Mar 28, 2023
How much do you say no to yourself?
For example:
I was struggling to think of a LinkedIn post for today, so I started typing “Twi” into Google Chrome to open Twitter.
Instinctually, I was seeking out a quick dopamine hit.
But I stopped myself.
I realized that I was trying to use Twitter as a distraction.
A distraction that would kill any “deep” thinking I’d soon have.
So instead, I thought about what had transpired and used it as today’s LinkedIn post theme.
If it doesn’t serve you long-term, say no to it.
It’s tough as hell at times to say no to yourself, but the level of self-respect you gain from doing it is WELL worth it.
