EP49: Why Learning to Say "NO" Will Change Your Life!

We all have a tendency to over-commit. We want to be nice people, we don't want to turn people down, and it's easy for us to get swept up in the demands of others. But there are times when saying NO is the best thing you can do for yourself and for everyone else around you.

Christina and Brittany talk about Why and What is the importance of learning how to say “no” and some techniques on how to do it with ease.

In this episode, they talk about:

• Sometimes it's great to be a people pleaser, but it's also toxic as well
• Encouragement to say "no" to things that don't serve you
• Christina and Brittany's experiences with saying "no" in the past and how they feel now when they do so responsibly
• Why learning to say "no" will help you become a better version of yourself
• Setting boundaries with people that is respected and valued.
• Some strategies for learning to say "no" in a healthy way so you can focus your time on the things that matter most.

Memorable Quotes:

"Learning to master saying no can really change our lives. Because saying no to someone else often means saying yes to yourself."

"If you're saying yes to everybody, especially if you're a mom, a dad, and you're putting everyone before yourself; your physical and your mental health is going to start to deteriorate."

"In terms of human development, we want to be able to grow and improve. So our capacity to do more things within reason should be improving with time. But with that growth also comes the improved capacity to say no to things that don't serve you and your current values and goals."
