Sometimes the most difficult thing we can do is say no. Many of us avoid saying no for fear of disappointing, hurting, or pushing away others, but how often does this lead us to say yes to others and no to ourselves? In this week’s episode, Barb and Michelle talk about how to say no with confidence, as a highest form of self-care.   Follow us @MichelleMaros and @Peaceful_Barb and share your experiences with us @BarbKnowsBestPod or at https://kite.link/barb-knows-best.   Episode Notes:     Self-love is an ability that we can cultivate.     Identify what's the one thing in the day that you need to do for yourself that will help bring you to that place of being 100%, or feeling close to 100% your best.     The loving kindness and care that you share, that you have for yourself, is your highest priority.     Self-compassion is one of the secrets to self-care, to being able to say “No” with confidence.  Resources Mentioned in Today’s Podcast:       Brene’ Brown - https://brenebrown.com       A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Ekart Tolle - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/76334.A_New_Earth
