=============================================
It
is perfectly OK to say, "No." You have permission.
Many
people don't like to disappoint others by saying, "No."
They will tend to acquiesce even when overloaded. Some will
agree when it is not in their best interest just to be accommodating.
When
we decline a request, we don't have to go into a long explanation.
Just say, "No." Be direct, be polite and don't
apologize. It is OK to say "No" and it is all
right not to have a reason.
Saying
"No" to things you do not want to do is a form
of self-care. By saying "No" to the things that
you do not want to do makes time for the things that you
do want to do.
Coaching
Just
say, "No" so that you can say, "Yes"
to the things you really want to do. For every "Yes"
you say, you are saying "No" to something else.
When you say, "Yes" to something you don't want
to do, you actually say, "No" to what you do what
to do. Remember, this is your life. Do you want to spend
it doing things you don't want to do or by doing what brings
you joy, happiness and contributes to your overall satisfaction.
Practice
saying, "No" today. See how it feels not to commit
to things you do not want to do and leave space for things
you do want in your life.
How
good are you at saying, "No?"

Success Formula
Saying
"No" = More room for what you really want to say

say, "Yes" when you want to say, "No."
