Empowered Women: Life is All About Balance Say No when You Have to
How to stop automatically saying yes
If you are wondering how to stop automatically saying yes to everything asked of you. Before you give any answer, ask for some time to think about it first, and then consider these points
How much work it will be for you?
Does your schedule permit it?
Does it interfere with family or other obligations? Is this is something you actually want to do?
If all these things are considered and you still want to do it then you can say yes
Another approach to breaking the habit of always saying yes would be to offer a suggestion of how this person or organization can find another solution such as asking another person to help them out. Sometimes family, friends, and organizations ask the same person over and over for help without even looking at the possibility that someone else may do the job or favor at hand.
Your life will not go down the toilet if you suddenly help out less often. The earth will not open and you suddenly are sent right to well you know where. Your family and friends will still love you. The volunteer associations will begin to accept your boundaries and or limitations and they will respect you for it and you will begin to feel better about yourself.
With your new positive attitude about yourself you will feel better, look better, enjoy your family and social relationships a lot more and you will be a positive role model for you children, and your community at large.
