Learning To Say No: Break Free From People Pleasing and Boost Productivity
Words carry so much power. But did you know there’s one word in particular that holds the power to radically realign your life?
That word is “no.”
Yes, it’s only two letters, but they’re critically important letters when it comes to honouring your boundaries and reclaiming your energy. In this week’s Can’t Be Contained, I’m sharing practical tips as well as personal insights on the art of saying no. Your time and energy is uniquely yours, and it deserves to be protected—-and by learning to set clear boundaries and not succumb to people-pleasing you too can live more intentionally.
Is it scary saying no? Of course it is! Our natural fear of rejection coupled with societal expectations has made “no” a dirty word——but it doesn’t have to be! Saying no can have such a positive impact on your mental health, your productivity, your business, and your relationships!
So come along with me, and we’ll practice together. Your decisions should align with what matters most to YOU.
And there’s NO doubt about it.
