If you feel like you’re constantly being pulled in a million and one different directions, never having anything left for you, it’s time for you to discover the power of “no”, “no, thank you”, “not now” and “not ever”. One of the first words most children learn, not long after “mama” or “dada”, is “NO”. By the age of two, not only do most children know exactly what “no” means, but they have already become rather proficient at using it too. Yet somewhere along the way, the ability to clearly and firmly say “no” to the things we don’t want to do gets lost. As adults, most people find it harder and harder to say “no”, and a whole lot easier to say “yes”, regardless of how they really feel.
Does this scenario feel familiar? You find yourself running around, feeling pushed from pillar to post, trying to keep everyone else
