The power of the word No

The power of the word "no", which will replenish and increase your resources

As a motto - always say yes, it can ruin your life and lead to emotional burnout.

usually, they advise us something completely different - say yes to life, open yourself to the world and new opportunities.

But what if this "yes" begins to crush and complicate life? The more comfortable you become for others, the less you start to devote time to your needs and protect your borders.

It is easier to say "yes" to agree to do super normal at work, neglecting personal time, to look like a more loyal employee in the eyes of the boss, to make concessions in relationships, afraid to offend a partner and remain alone, to be a trouble-free person for the requests of friends and relatives.

And it seems that you should become the new hero of this city but in the end, for some reason, you often remain extreme in everything. A bunch of promises and obligations to the detriment of their desires and needs begins to cause concern and can lead to panic and emotional burnout.

What If you do not learn to say the word no.

This needs to be learned because for the majority to refuse is very difficult. Why use the power of the word "no":

• It is honest with yourself and others.
• Saying yes is more comfortable, but not necessarily
• By always agreeing, we learn to give, forgetting that we must also accept. So we often upset the balance and do not replenish our resources.
• Because everyone has the right to say no

"No" can be a powerful tool for a more harmonious and conscious life.

Why is saying "no" so difficult?

Because since childhood we have been raised as good boys and girls who, contrary to their wishes, put the needs of others in the first place, saying "yes" when they want to say "no". Otherwise, it's selfish, wrong and somehow not friendly.

"No" - initially regarded as bad news, and you are the messenger who carries it and feels guilty. To change your attitude, you need to work with your beliefs from childhood and begin to listen to your desires.

Otherwise, feeling guilty for each refusal will "eat" you emotionally - it causes anxiety, self-doubt and dissatisfaction with life.

How to say no to people:

• Short and straightforward, without lengthy explanations that begin to turn into excuses
• Decide on your priorities now and for the future and answer - yes/no, according to how it will be more comfortable for you
• To make it not so difficult to refuse, use polite and more loyal constructions - "not this time", "I don't think it will be interesting/convenient for me", "I prefer to refuse"
• Recognize that sometimes saying no is the best option for everyone. Often we agree to do something that is not within our competence, and we may well overestimate our capabilities with good intentions. And then it happens that "they wanted the best, but it turned out - as always."

The power of the word "no" can be your support and protection. If youwant to live in harmony, first of all, with yourself, it is merely necessary to learn to say no to others.
