148. When You Say Yes, What Are You Saying No To?

“When we say yes to something, no matter what it is, we are saying no to something else.” Dr. Andrew Fix reminds us that every decision carries a trade-off, urging us to reflect on whether our choices truly align with our priorities and values.

In this episode, Dr. Fix talks about managing priorities and practicing discernment in a busy life. How often do we say yes without recognizing what we’re giving up on? This habit can quietly create imbalances, and leaves important areas like health, family, or personal well-being neglected.

Dr. Fix encourages us to approach decisions with intention. Before committing to something new, he suggests asking ourselves: Is this necessary? Will it benefit me or those I care about? What am I giving up by saying yes? Taking a moment to reflect can lead to choices that protect your time and keep your life balanced.

As he shares thoughtful ways to decline opportunities, Dr. Fix proves that a well-considered “no” can be a powerful tool for maintaining focus. Tune in to this episode of The Code to learn clear strategies for staying grounded and making choices that truly matter.
