Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.
Here’s a scary thought: Saying No to someone when we're used to saying Yes. What are you afraid of?
Many of us, especially girls, are taught that saying Yes is right, good, proper, helpful even and saying No is just plain wrong. The problem is the more we say Yes when we mean No we forget how to make choices in our own best interest and well-being. This self-sabotage robs us of our ability to choose wisely, of our personal power, of our legitimate right to say No with clarity, confidence, and conviction.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with agreeing to a request from certain people in our lives so long as we are not limited in our options, feeling compelled, thinking we will be rejected or worse. It takes practice to practice No. What do you get? What do you want? Name it! Claim it!
Practical Tip: A simple response to a request to take on work or favors you want to decline is to say, “No. It’s good work; but it’s not my work.”
Question: How does it feel to value and appreciate your own good self saying what you mean and meaning what you say?
