Picture this: Another ‘request’ is added to your pile.
Your boss wants you to do something new.
Another sports event or birthday party or PTA meeting pops up.
Deep down, you really don’t want to do it…but somehow “oh sure!” comes out of your mouth.
And then you walk away feeling disappointed and frustrated, because saying YES took away something very important – your time.
| Let’s reframe the power of NO. |
Many times, we feel like saying “no” is selfish or lets people down. But firmly telling people “no” to things that don’t match what’s important to you is actually taking care of yourself. It’s not selfish at all.
Think of “no” as a positive way to show up better for the things that really matter.
So, the next time a request comes your way: if it feels like a big NO inside, just say “no thanks.” OR try my new favorite:
“Oh, I’m not available for that right now.”
If you are a busy working mom who constantly feels overwhelmed and stretched thin, but you find yourself saying “yes” to things you don’t really want to do– It’s time to take back control of your time and learn the power of saying NO.
Saying no to things that don’t align with your priorities is an act of self-care, not selfishness.
