Why it’s important to say no

Let’s go through a couple of reasons why it’s so important to say no. 

Do less to deliver more. Focus on one thing at a time, and do it well. You can produce much higher quality work.

 

Saying no can benefit your performance your career and your spiritual life. Being assertive pays off in the extra time it gives you for what is important.

 

It’s important for your mental well-being.

Healthy people say NO a lot more than unhealthy people. 

Prevent burnout. both mental and physical health.

 

Build and maintain strong and healthy relationships.

You will add greater depth to a relationship saying no, then by saying yes. 

 

 

Be realistic about your capabilities. Sometimes, willingness is not the issue. You may not have the right skills and abilities for what is being asked of you at work. This alone is a valid reason to decline a request.

Maybe you have the time, you want to do the job, you are willing to do the job… but if you don’t have the skill - then say no and protect your emotional wellbeing. 

 

 

 

When it comes down to it, the reason saying no is so important is because it protects our best interests - and that is us. It has been said many times before, if we don’t take care of ourselves no one else will.  

 

So what are some practical ways to say no.
