The power of no | Emilie Aries | TEDxAmoskeagMillyard

While she raced along the fast track in her professional life, Emilie Aries found that her personal life was increasingly falling apart. When she took a step back, she saw that she was hardly alone -- and that women seemed to be more prone to burnout than men. In this talk, Aries proposes an alternative to the burnout culture by asking: What happens when we begin to live mindfully, recognizing the vital connection between work, love, and wellness? Aries, the founder and CEO of BossedUp, speaks to the intentional choice of creating sustainable success in our lives -- and the premise that having it all includes prioritizing ourselves in the equation.

Saying no is the only real power you have. Your boss asks you to work late? no. Your wife says we have to go do something you don't want to do? no. etc. etc etc. Saying yes is the default in most situations and you are lucky if someone asks. No is the real power.

She does not understand the power of saying YES! She must atone.
