Description

In this episode, Aniesa talks all about the power behind saying no. In modern life, it’s all too easy to say yes to things you either don’t want to do or don’t have time for, creating more stress and anxiety in your life. Listen in to hear how and why you should learn to start saying no.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The better you become at saying no, the more your stress and anxiety will be reduced because you are only doing and saying yes to the things you want to do and critically, have time for.
• Saying no means disappointing people, it’s inevitable. However, you need to put yourself and your family above others’ feelings. We can’t make everyone happy all of the time.
• If you feel guilty for saying no, ask yourself why that is.
• There are other ways to say no than just using the word. Such as “I have other commitments”, “I really wish I could” and even just “I can’t”.
