She says that she only accepts opportunities that she’s actually excited by. “I’ve forever been a ‘yes’ person and stretched myself too thin with functions and commitments. I’ve now learned that if it is something I’m not instantly drawn to accepting or participating in, it is likely I won’t be excited about it in the future, and I politely decline. It’s helped fill my calendar with events and opportunities I genuinely enjoy.”

5. She Spends 5 Minutes Each Day To Herself
Liukin reveals that she likes to take five minutes each day to herself.
