Knowing When to Say “Yes”
Genesis
We often hear that we should say no more often, but there are times when you should say “yes”, too! Though you may have your plate full, sometimes it is worth pushing back a deadline or at least forcing yourself to work a little later into the night in order to be with someone you love or do something that needs your special touch. Here are a few examples, feel free to add your own in the comments.
- When your best friend needs someone to watch her children so she can go to the hospital with one of them.
- When your toddler begs you to get down and color with him.
- When your husband wants to take you out for dinner.
- When a teething baby wants only your arms.
- When you are sick and tired and need to lie down (provided someone gives you the chance, that is!)
- When your teen wanders in and actually wants to talk to you.
- When your daughter needs help with her math homework.
When you work at home, especially running your own business, it is SO easy to say, “Just a minute, I have to finish this first” or “Not now, I’m busy”. Our children are only little once and it goes by entirely too quickly, as I am seeing with my two little ones. My son has leapt from infancy to toddlerhood in a single bound and if I don’t stop to play with him now, I’ll miss so much! Soon he will want nothing to do with me.
Don’t forget to stop and remember why you work from home and take a moment to say “yes” now and then.
