When was the last time you thought, \u201cI can\u2019t\u2026\u201d?<\/p>\n

As the saying goes, \u201cDon\u2019t believe everything you think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the way that we communicate with ourselves isn\u2019t helpful.<\/p>\n

What do you miss out on when you avoid doing something because you tell yourself you can\u2019t? What would life be like if you actually did the thing you thought you couldn\u2019t do?<\/p>\n

For years, I told myself I couldn\u2019t go \u201con holiday\u201d without my laptop. This started for me in the corporate world and continued when I established my own business.<\/p>\n

Last week, I was about to leave for a long-weekend reunion in Germany with friends from my student days – 28 years ago. We were coming together from the U.S., U.K., Netherlands, Germany, and Japan.<\/p>\n

I decided that morning NOT to take my laptop – gasp!<\/p>\n

It felt like a HUGE risk. What if I needed to respond to something? What if I missed something?<\/p>\n

Well, it wouldn\u2019t be so bad because at least I had my phone\u2026<\/p>\n

And I planned to use my phone\u00a0to do a Facebook Live every day until the end of the month because I had lots that I wanted to tell people about\u00a0(see the replays on the Sasuga Communications Facebook page<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

I realized though that when I was thinking about doing the Facebook Lives it took time away from being with my friends.<\/p>\n

At first, I thought, \u201cI can\u2019t NOT do the Facebook Lives because I said I\u2019m going to do them.\u201d<\/p>\n

But then I questioned whether that was true.<\/p>\n

Was it going to cause a big problem if I didn\u2019t do them? No.<\/p>\n

Wasn\u2019t it reasonable to skip the Facebook Lives on Saturday and Sunday to focus on this precious time with friends instead? Absolutely.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s what I ultimately did – even though it felt a bit uncomfortable to not do something that I\u2019d said I would do.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so glad that I didn\u2019t do the weekend Facebook Lives and I didn\u2019t have my laptop to distract me. Instead I spent a wonderful time eating sausages and cake, drinking a few beers, and laughing lots with dear friends.<\/p>\n

Next time you notice that you\u2019re saying to yourself \u201cI can\u2019t,\u201d ask whether it\u2019s true\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
