HOW TO SAY NO -by Shebuah Ever feel like you were just barely keepin' your head above water and then somebody came over asking for "one more favor?" Join the club. If you're anything like me you probably said yes, then proceeded to get stressed out, pissed off and overwhelmed and ended up resenting the person who asked. But if you said "No." you would've felt guilty, right? WRONG. |
| We
who think this way have what's called "Co-Dependent
Thinking." If you ever want to have any semblance of a life, it's
gotta GO! So stop over committing yourself and giving your precious
"You Time" to people who just want to see what they can get
you to do next. It's called NO. That's the magic word, people.
And for those who have the balls to ask you why, look them straight in the eye and ask them firmly, "Are you asking me to explain myself?" That's true, folks. Adults do not have to explain themselves. And last I checked, I wasn't a kid. At least not physically. So next time someone you love (or don't even care for) comes over with that over due project that you're good at, what are you going to say? "No, I'm sorry, I don't have time for that this month." The extra words are just to prevent any added insult to injury. It's not your problem. Don't make it yours. And don't be surprised if it takes a while for your "friends" to get used to your new attitude. The truth will set you free. You have enough stuff you want to do as it is that you haven't done because you've been too busy taking care of everyone and everything else. Now it's time to take a look at YOU. (This may be difficult and painful. Many of us avoid it our whole lives) How do you (really) feel? What do you (really) want to do with the rest of your life? What dreams have you let go by the wayside? If you died next month, what would you like to have accomplished/experienced? What are you hanging onto that is hindering your growth? What is the 1st step to making your dreams come true? When's the last time you had quiet meditation by yourself? |
