The art of saying "No" - How did you learn it?

once you just start it becomes empowering and therefore it becomes compelling and easy

Learning to say "no" is an important skill to have in order to maintain healthy boundaries and take care of yourself. It can be helpful to practice saying "no" in your head, set clear boundaries with others, be assertive when you do say "no," and consider offering an alternative solution if you can't do something that someone has asked of you. Remember that it is okay to say "no" and that you are not obligated to do everything that others ask of you.

Still learning. A very hard thing to apply

I work in the country club industry which pretty much forces the"yes" on you. But I realized that I cannot sacrifice my whole life for work. I began saying no when my life started to disappear. For me, it costs me money everytime I say no, that's the hard part. From the people side, people respect that there is more to life.

Hello

If you are asking me. I haven't yet😥

In the agency, sometimes we receive too much feedback from clients (Indonesian case, different country different culture) because they didn't notice in early. Here what I learn when saying "No" - Give a small time before saying no - Don't just say "no" only but give them options would be better - Open discussion by saying no + reason

Setting boundaries by learning to say "no" has been one of the best things I've ever done and once you start saying it, it becomes very easy to do
