Extra Credit: Saying No

For many people, women especially, saying no is a hard thing to do. Along with our innate sense of compassion and caring, many of us have also been raised to be people pleasers, which makes it difficult when it comes to putting our own needs first.

But saying no to the things you don’t want to do is really about taking care of yourself. And I can attest that it is never too late for that, never too late to learn.

So for today, write a little bit about saying no in your journal, making sure to express your thoughts and feelings on the idea of you rejecting something as well as answering the following questions:

How does saying no usually make you feel? Guilty? Happy? Full of angst? Scared?

When was the last time you said no to something that you didn’t want to do? When was the last time you said yes to something you didn’t want to do?

How does not saying no (i.e., saying, “Yes, sure, whatever you need”) make you feel when you really don’t want to do something?

Do you think that learning how to say no would be beneficial? If so, how would learning that new skill change your life? What would you do less of and what would you have more time for?
