Quick Tip for People Pleasers: Saying No
If you struggle with saying no because you want to make others happy, try this simple technique:
1. Acknowledge the request: “Thank you for thinking of me.”
2. Say no firmly but politely: “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to help with this.”
3. Offer an alternative (if appropriate): “Maybe someone else would be a better fit for this task.”
Remember, it’s ok to prioritize your own needs and set boundaries. Saying no doesn’t make you a bad person; it makes you a healthy one.
No need to offer any other explanation for saying no.
