The Art of Saying 'No'

Often in life we can get caught up in a position where we have to make a hard decision & it may mean offending those closest to us. Whether it be at work at home or with friends we are often tasked with making a decision thats best for is or best for OTHERS. 

Saying no to a night out or a new assignment at work or even meeting your girlfriends parents 😜can be a hard one to make but in the end its you who has to pay the bills at the grocery store and not others…

Im sure even people who look like dwayne ‘the rock’ johnson have a hard time saying no from time to time, we all do so you are not alone. But ultimately it is a test of your will. I suppose you could think of it like a test from god or the universe or whatever you believe in! And if you fail then not so good..

So how do we say no? 

A good way to start is with the little no’s for instance not buying that chocolate bar or turning down that lunch with the work colleague you don’t really like… Once we start getting good at the little no’s then we can become better at the big ones. You may even find your self esteem may increase along the way. People will also start to look at you like ‘the guy who doesn’t take sh!t’ or girl. 

Once we have the little no’s sorted then i suppose its time to try a big one. So no pressure 😉
