Do you often say yes, although you actually mean no? Do you find yourself in situations where you wonder "how on earth did I get here?". Do you often promise do do things for/with others, that you in fact don't want to do? Do you often run out of energy when taking care of the needs of others, when you actually need to take care of yourself?
Many of us experience problems with saying no. These problems stir up a lot of anxiety and fear. Fear of feeling mean, ungrateful or tight-fisted. Fear of not being liked or loved.
How do you feel when you say no?
If you ask a friend for help, would you like her/him to say yes merely out of fear that you wouldn't like her/him otherwise?
What would you gain by saying no sometimes?
Think about these questions the next time someone asks you to do something!
Take care!
