Hey Queen,
I used to struggle to say no.
It used to be so difficult for me to say no, instead of my default yes when I didn’t want to do something. So I made it my mission to start saying NO.
Over the last 2 years, as I’ve integrated more counselling therapy into my work with clients, I’ve been teaching many of my clients how to honour their truths so they can start saying yes when it’s a yes, and no when something isn’t aligned with who they are and what they want.
You might also find yourself feeling like you can’t say no. You might be worried you’ll offend someone or hurt their feelings.
But if you’re like most of my clients, saying yes when you want to say no probably leads to a lot of frustration and/ or resentment, instead of the butterfly feelings we get when we feel good because we’ve helped someone out, or done something to make someone feel good.
So what can you do if your yes is actually a no? Practice saying no. Practice saying no and stay in the discomfort of honouring what’s best for you. It will be hard at first, but over time it will get more comfortable.
And remember, NO is a complete sentence.
If you’re looking for additional support to help you confidently set boundaries by saying no to others so you can start saying yes to what you truly desire – join my newsletter list to get monthly insights into living a life that’s true to YOU.
Inspiring YOU to Live a Life you LOVE!
