15 Harmful Habits Holding You Back

4. Saying “yes” when you really want to say “no.”

当你真的想说“不”的时候，却说“是”。

If it doesn’t align with your values, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, if it’s harmful for your mental health, then just say “no.”

如果它不符合你的价值观，如果它让你感到不舒服，如果它对你的心理健康有害，那就说“不”。

Even if you’ve already said “yes.”

即使你已经答应了。

Even if you feel like it will be an imposition.

即使你感觉这是一种强迫。

Even if the other person will be mad.

即使对方会生气。

5. Giving too many chances.

给太多的机会。

We all make mistakes. We all hope to receive a second chance. But a third, fourth, or even a fifth? That seems egregious. In fact, a mistake made more than once is a choice. And we each need to take responsibility for our choices.

我们都会犯错，都希望得到第二次机会。但第三、四、五次呢？这似乎太离谱了。事实上，犯了不止一次的错误就是一种选择。我们每个人都需要为自己的选择负责。

So, how many chances are too many? Well, if you have to ask, that’s an indication that you already know the answer.

所以，多少次机会是太多呢？如果你一定要问，这表明你已经知道答案了。

Take back your power in the situation and walk away from what is no longer serving you.

在这种情况下，收回你的力量，远离那些不能再为你服务的事。
