Four words that can change your life.
Instead of making excuses, feeling being put on the spot, being roped into something, feeling like a doormat, always compromising, learn to say these four words:
I don't want to.
It's super hard to say them the first few times but boy does it feel good! And it's a shuter upper for any comeback. Practice on your kids first if you feel you can't get the nerve to say it to others just yet.

It only takes one word ............... NO!
You shouldn't feel you have to give any reasons for your decisions.
Aquot, that I came across a few years ago, on this matter ...
"Saying no, is saying yes to yourself!"
I only wish I knew who to give credit to these empowering words.

I have a book "When I Say No, I Feel Guilty". I could never say NO to anything someone wanted me to do and if I did, I worried myself silly about why I said NO. My doctor told me to read this book to help with the guilt feelings. I still haven't conquered the guilt completely but I am able to say NO more often now.
