The Power of ‘No’

Can you say ‘No’?

Saying ‘no’ powerful.
Saying ‘no’ is setting boundaries.
Saying ‘no’ is standing up for yourself.

And yet, you say ‘yes’

- to please others, and not yourself.
- because it seems to signify respect and love for another, but not for yourself.
- and give your power of self-determination and self-leadership away.

Say ‘no’ to the things you don’t want, so you can truthfully say ‘yes’ to those you do want.

The Power of ‘No’

When was the last time you said ‘no’ and felt that deep warm satisfaction of doing the right thing?

How often do you say ‘no’ and have that sinking and embarrassing sense of hurting someone’s feelings or of not being or doing enough?

How often do you dissemble or say nothing instead of ‘no’, leaving the question up in the air, hoping it will disappear, hoping the other person can read your mind?

Do you truly recognise what you are saying ‘no’ to?

The power of saying ‘No’ is the power of doing the right thing for yourself. Of giving yourself permission to determine the outcome you want.

What do you believe about ‘No’?

Saying 'no' requires courage. Saying 'no' sets boundaries. Saying 'no' allows you to do what you really want to do. Say 'No' with conviction.
