Do you often agree to do something that you don’t want to do, because you’re afraid to hurt someone’s feelings?
Learn how to say “no” and feel great:
- Give an “empowered refusal” — a no that’s phrased in a way that makes it less likely to create offense or pushback.
- Start saying no to the things that don’t matter and spend more of your time on the things that do.
