Some people find it hard to say no, they are afraid of how it will be received

You can be blunt and brutally honest sometimes

No you cannot borrow my car, last time it came back all dirty with an empty tank

No I will not lend you money until you get paid, you need to spend less

No I do not want another drink, you probably had enough too

No I cannot deal with your request right now, I am too busy

Or you say no and still be nice about it

Sorry I promised myself never to lend my car to anybody but I am going into town shorty if you need a ride

I’m sorry I just can’t lend you any more money but I will gift you this great book on how to manage your personal finances

Its been a fun evening but I need to leave soon so its best if I just finish this last drink, thank you so much for the kind offer though and I hope you enjoy your last drink as much as I did mine

I understand exactly what you need and I will work on it as soon as I am available

Whichever way you choose , its appropriate to say no sometimes

Saying no is empowering

saying no is liberating

Saying no keeps you in control

Saying no prevents others from stealing your time

Saying no prevents takers from taking

Learn to say no
