no, no, no, no, no, no, no

 

Funny how the simplest of words can be one of the hardest to say. 

Well I'm going to teach you how to say no, and to not feel bad about it. 

We often find it hard to say no - often because we're people pleasing and we're worried about 'upsetting' someone. 

But, once we understand that thoughts control feelings. Your thoughts control your feelings. Their thoughts control theirs. We can start to understand that we can't 'upset' someone, because it is their thoughts that are creating this feeling. Easier said than done, I know. 

The best way to say no is just to say 'no'. 

You can provide an excuse, if you want. But you don't need to justify yourself. 'No' can be a sentence in itself. "No." 
You could say "Thank you for the invitation, but no." 
"Sorry, no I can't help with that." You can spell it out "N-O." 

I urge you to try it. Next time your face is smiling and nodding but your brain is screaming 'not a fucking chance,' I want you to say "no." 

Try it, it won't be as bad as you think, I promise. 

And if it is? Well you thought that saying the word 'no' would cause the world to end anyway.
