Your yes only means something because your no is real. Otherwise it’s just a reflex.

Agreement carries weight only when refusal was genuinely available. Say yes to everything and nobody learns anything from your yes, including you, because it reports nothing about what you wanted. The value of the one depends entirely on the other being real.

Turn down something real this week, not merely something you were never going to do anyway. Then pay attention to how your next yes lands, for the other person and for you. Chosen agreement feels different to give and different to receive.
