Using the 5/25 Rule to Learn to Say “No”

I used to say yes to unnecessary things. Now if something is appealing to me, I still would say yes, but I am ready to learn the opposite and turn it down every time. Whenever I say yes to something new, I try to do my best but also I wait and watch if it’s making me happy or happier. If it is what I thought it would be. If it is giving me what I though it’s going to give. And if any of these answers (or all of them) are no, I simply go back and say NO. And I feel good about both Yes and No, every time.
