A true yes usually has room to breathe.

A true yes usually has room to breathe. It may be challenging, but it does not require you to betray your values, ignore your limits, or invent a false version of yourself. Pressure can sound urgent and flattering. Pause long enough to ask: Would I still choose this if nobody were watching or praising me? The right choice is not always easy. But it should leave you with more self-respect, not less, when the excitement has passed.
