It's Ok To Lovingly Say 'No'

By Ariel Colhoun Passionate about increasing the sphere of influence for women & driving positive change.


Learn To Speak From Your Heart

Sometimes when we are afraid to speak our minds, we say things we don’t mean to say. Sometimes it just feels easier to tell someone exactly what he or she wishes to hear, rather than speak from the heart and be honest. We tend to put ourselves in situations unintentionally that after the fact, we realize we are not truly comfortable with our original decisions. When we reflect, we realize we should not feel pressured to say ‘yes’ to others when we actually want to say ‘no’.


If you have a tendency to lovingly say ‘yes’ in order to please others, learn to lovingly say ‘no’. Being lovingly truthful will go a long way. How you handle things is all part of your own personal well-being - both in mind and body. You must learn to not please others at the expense of your own well-being.


Relieve Yourself From The Weight Of Outer Expectations

Relieving the weight of meeting outer expectations will instantaneously relieve the weight of your perceived burden. It is imperative to remember, taking on more than you can handle will make you susceptible to additional unnecessary stress and fatigue. If you start to suffer from burnout, everything around you will start to slowly crumble. Recovering from personal exhaustion may end up being a much harder task than pursuing the journey of your wish itself.


So in order to move forward and achieve your goals, continually remind yourself to place a high priority on your own personal well-being. When you are honest with yourself and others about your feelings, you learn to build long-lasting and trusting relationships that will benefit everyone in the long run.
