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.

"A mother, living well in her God-ordained role,  is of great beauty and inestimable value  to the future of history of any generation." -Sally Clarkson  Give A woman Incomplete.... A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, Nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value And must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted,  it soon disappears. Give A woman Incomplete....

Others would pratically say God is no longer with him But in that very moment, all you have got left is FAITH If God took away all you had Would you continue loving God like the first day To be chosen , truth be told, you need to love God hard! If there is going to be a turn around for you Then certainly things can't remain the same! One of the best ways the Bible decribes a Christain Is that of a soldier Why is it so?
