Sometimes, the question isn't simply whether we should say yes. It's how we'll feel about that decision afterwards.
Will we resent ourselves for ignoring our own needs? Or will we end up resenting the other person for asking us to do something we didn't really want to do?
A little self-awareness before answering can help us recognise what we genuinely want — before an unwilling yes turns into frustration.
Because being considerate of others shouldn't mean ignoring ourselves. 🌿
At Green Smoothie for the Soul, we create animated stories about emotional maturity, boundaries, relationships, and the things we don't always know how to put into words.
Sometimes a small everyday moment can teach us something about ourselves. 🤍
