IT'S OKAY TO SAY NO!

Do you wish to put your foot down sometimes and say no? Many of us feel compelled to every request and would rather juggle a million times than refuse to help. But you should know by now that learning to say no might earn you respect from yourself as well as those around you. 

Then why we always end up saying yes to every request? It could be that we believe saying no to something reflects an uncaring and selfish trait of a person. We may have a fear of letting other people down. On top of it, we fear being criticized, disliked by others, this could even end up friendships.

Little do we know that the ability to say no is closely bridged with self-confidence. A study shows people with low self-esteem and self-confidence often end up trapping themselves in their own maze, they get nervous and tend to rate others need more than the need of their own.

You may have been raised to be sweetheart, always ready to help thus your fundamentals do not allow you to say no. But its high time for you to realize that saying no is absolutely okay! You can't be good for people every time. And if you happen to help every single person you might end up losing yourself while helping others.

Being unable to say no can make you exhausted and irritable. Learn to master your strengths.
