What I\u2019m about to share with you are two very harmless words except when they\u2019re used together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These words are\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard them before or even used them, right?<\/p>\n

Let me explain with what I hope are two really good examples.<\/p>\n

Person #1: “You know there\u2019s never a perfect time to start exercising.”<\/p>\n

Person #2: “Yeah, but things are just extra crazy right now with the holidays coming.”<\/p>\n

To clarify, the phrase \u201cyeah, but\u201d does two things.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It acknowledges the situation, challenge, etc.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. It refutes your ability to do anything about it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And the truth is, there\u2019s never a “but” when something is important enough or a high enough priority to us.<\/p>\n

    Firstly, if someone is diagnosed with cancer, their response wouldn\u2019t be, “yeah, but I just don\u2019t have time to deal with this right now.”<\/p>\n

    In the same vein, there is a sale on your favorite high heels or sneakers, your response wouldn\u2019t be, “yeah, but I already have enough pair of shoes, so, I\u2019ll pass.” Similarly, if you\u2019re like most people, you are going to find a way to get those heels or sneakers fast!<\/p>\n

    The reason I decided to share this message is to simply bring this phrase to your attention. Above all, I want you to be full aware of it.<\/p>\n

    My hope is that the next time you hear “yeah, but”, either from yourself or someone else, that you catch yourself, evaluate the scenario, and move toward \u201cyeah\u201d without the \u201cbut.\u201d<\/p>\n

    In short, I hope you will never say these two particular words: \u201cyeah, but…\u201d!<\/p>\n
