10 Ways to Say No and Be Nice

A well-placed "No" can not only save you time and trouble. It can save your life: to anything that is hurting you, to standards that no longer serve you, to people who drain you of your creativity and expression, to beliefs that are not true to the real you.

How many times have you heard yourself saying yes to the wrong things: overwhelming requests, bad relationships, time-consuming obligations?


Good things can happen to you when you learn to say no. 

When you protect yourself from the people and situations that will hurt you. When you shield yourself from the stories and myths your colleagues, friends, family and institutions use to control you. When you finally say no to the inner conditioning and psychology that your brain forces on you in its misguided attempts to protect you.


Here are ten ways to say no and be nice:

1) Let me think about that.

2) Here's what will work for me.

3) Can I get back to you.

4) That doesn't work for me.

5) I appreciate you asking but I can't.

6) I know it's important but I can't.

7) Thanks, but this isn't going to work.

8) That isn't doable for me right now.

9) Oh, I wish I could!

10) I can help you find a solution.

Treat HER Like a Queen...

Image
There are some tough, resilient, high resistant women out there They build walls around them to shield them from being broken You never really know what 'she' has been through She could have had nobody but herself to blame when things go wrong When a strong woman  cries, she has been strong for too long She releases anger, pain, courage and somewhat faith that she had held on That everything somehow would be just okay in the end She sometimes may feel she is winning but really she's not..... Professionally, a woman could decide to take the 'Boss' shoes She could be a firefighter, soldier, police, public figure, top executive and so many others She portrays strength, equality, courage and hope A woman should be treated as a lady no matter her profession!
