Do you have a hard time saying no?  This episode is for you!  Here are 3 reasons you will learn to love saying NO!

1. Endless options, finite time. Deciding "no" is a great way to manage your stress. "Have to" energy sucks. "I can say 'no'" energy is powerful. And just think about how much time you spend managing your to-do list! Game/example: Say no to 75% of your to-do list...even just in your mind...might make you feel more in control and expansive. You're a person with options, sexy thing!
2. "No" might ruffle some feathers...and that's okay! It might cause you to shed your social armor. It can be the secret to having a LOT more fun. Think about a toddler. No, don't want this, no don't want that. They are so pure of heart and intention when they give you their "no"! Game/example: Imagine giving a 3 year old control of your life for a day. What would it be like to be led by someone who has no problem at ALL saying "uh, no, nope, not for me!" Sure, the grown ups might not like it...but maybe it could be fun to be The No Person for a day.
3. "No" builds connections. No is real intimacy. No is declining temporary obligations to build your legacy. No is being connected to yourself. You have this one human life to life, as far as we know for sure. Saying "no" is what creates space for "yes." Game/example: How often do you say yes to be nice or be easy going, even to something you don't like or want to do at all? In a way, you're depriving people of getting to know the most true version who exists today. So, yeah, tell your mom that you don't like lentil soup anymore and your boss that you're tired of being the resident spreadsheet expert because you want to lead a team. How can "no" bring you closer to yourself and others today?
