There is a movement afoot this month to rethink November as NO-vember. The idea behind it is to say no to the things that don't matter, no to the things that steal your joy, no to the things that cause you stress.
This fits in well with what I wrote yesterday about the time change. Sometimes, as we seek joy in the small things, we have to say no to the unnecessary stuff all around us.
This November, by saying no to the people who makes us feel inferior and no the unnecessary things that drag us down, there's more time to focus on the good.
This November, I plan to hike, to eat nourishing foods, to read and to feather my nest in preparation for the winter hibernation season.
Life has taught me that saying no isn't a bad thing. Sometimes it's the only way to get to the yes of what matters most to you.
