Success Topic of the Day: Learning to say No

How do you decide when to say no to something? Is it tough for you, or does it help you stay focused and get shit done?

I am a people pleaser and I have always struggled to advocate for myself. Learning to say No has been a really powerful way to take back my time. 

What about you?

I tend to be a people pleaser too.
It is tough to say No for me. 

How I decide is usually through feeling. Yet to act upon my feeling and say no is tough. 

For example if I meet a stranger and we talk. And if I feel after some time, that this conversation is more draining for me, it is tough to Interrupt someone and say 'hey it was nice meeting you but I have to move one.' I am afraid of hurting the feelings of someone.

I am afraid of rejecting someone yet the interesting part is, that at the same time I am scared that someone rejects me. So, I rarely approach someone.

Yet, I am learning and if I can say no to something I feel how my confidence is leveling up.
