Taking control of our lives and asserting boundaries, by learning to say “no”, gives us a sense of empowerment. We are living in a “yes” culture, where it’s expected that a person who says yes to everything that comes their way, is a go-getter. We have been brainwashed into thinking that saying “no” will prevent us from succeeding and getting ahead in life. Be assertive and courteous, set boundaries - your time and energy may not meet their request and that is okay. Step out of the “yes” culture.
