When I do, I usually say "no thanks, that won't work for me" which leaves very little room for discussion. It's a constant battle to stay true to myself on this one.

I'm finally able to say "no" without huge guilt pains. Unfortunately, I sometimes forget to be cushioning with my "no's" and have offended those that do not understand my boundaries. Thanks for the reminder as I'm usually on the edge about this.<br />MaryMJH Design Artshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752876154227590389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-32042869552476199362013-01-07T23:26:49.633-05:002013-01-07T23:26:49.633-05:00we all need this in our lives... thanks for the re...we all need this in our lives... thanks for the reminder... happy new year dear friend.. xoxoxred tickinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400289072356876224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-58372892478139313772013-01-07T22:43:32.030-05:002013-01-07T22:43:32.030-05:00WOW--I can't believe how appropriate your post...WOW--I can't believe how appropriate your post was tonight.

Nov-Dec left me so depleted....and that doesn't do anyone I care about any good, including myself.<br /><br />I really relate to the idea of having a mission for yourself, so that you have a focus and also keeping things brief, without elaboration. I think the more you say, the worse things get. No, I wish I could....seems to work well, when I have the nerve to say it.<br /><br />Here's to only saying YES to those things you really want to do.<br /><br />xoxo ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-39967610197677177492013-01-07T18:29:46.451-05:002013-01-07T18:29:46.451-05:00Good for you!

Perhaps being women compels us to not let anyone down but by saying yes too often, don't we let ourselves down more? Love this Monday Motivation and will try to practice it this week!

True, if we look at the hours we free up by a simple no, then we can manage our time to say yes to what it is we really need to do.<br />pve<br /><br />Frau,<br />Good luck to you and your carefree life. You know you have earned this time to treat yourself to something special. Saying yes to new things, new skills and starting something to inspire others - I know you would be in full demand.<br />Happy Monday to you too.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-75350972012111543582013-01-07T09:34:24.952-05:002013-01-07T09:34:24.952-05:00You may as well have tagged me in this post!

I think many of us could join together and support one another on simply saying no in order to give to ourselves balance. Saying yes with more focus and clarity brings balance.<br />Men seem to be able to say no with ease and security.<br />Love that chair you posted. If I were your client I would say Yes to everything.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-77253061960448026882013-01-07T06:45:15.114-05:002013-01-07T06:45:15.114-05:00I so could relate to this post!

In the end I am down right miserable with to much on my plate. I'm with you this new year...having a clear plan as to what can work and what can't and staying true to YOU and just saying no. I also think we feel we need to explain why we are saying no and frankly no explanation is needed.<br />Good luck to keeping balance this new year.<br />Donna<br />thebeneblog.comDonna Benedettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659528487928574526noreply@blogger.com
