Saying No is a learned skill, and it's not easy! Most of us fear missing out on something or feeling guilty or worried that we are hurting people's feelings by turning down invites.
We may even feel worried that if we say no even once, we will never be invited again or feel like other people will think we aren't capable of doing everything - especially in your workplace.
By saying no to taking on too much work or to a dinner where you know you will be triggered to drink and don't want to go unless you're drinking or saying no to a holiday obligation — you are saying YES to yourself and what you want and need.
In this episode, I share six steps to saying no kindly from a book I recently listened to called At Your Best: How to Get Time, Energy, and Priorities Working in Your Favor by Carey Nieuwov.
