Are you a “yes” person? A lot of us have been conditioned to say “yes” from a young age. But when we say “yes” to things either without checking in with ourselves or when we actually mean to say “no”, it compromises more needs than it meets. Today’s episode deals with reasons why we feel compelled to say “yes” and how to say “no”, even to yourself.

In this episode, we cover…

  • Why we find it hard to say “no”
  • Why we say “yes”, even when it doesn’t serve us
  • How it might feel like we’re meeting multiple needs by saying “yes” but it actually compromises several more
  • How we are conditioned to say “yes” from childhood
  • How your subconscious influences the way you meet your needs
  • How saying “yes” can become a habit
  • How to say “no” to yourself and why it’s important
  • How to know if something needs to be reconsidered
  • How to be more mindful when replying to a request
  • Why having free time doesn’t mean you’re available
  • How your value need is linked to making the choice to say “no”
  • What a placeholder response is
  • Why getting used to saying “no” is like a pendulum
  • How “no” is a complete sentence
  • How needs change moment by moment and how that affects the decisions around saying “no”
  • How to start practicing saying “no” in a safe space
