If you are a “people pleaser” like me, this article is for you!
It’s time to start exercising the word, “No.”
I have struggled with that word my entire life. Nothing is harder for me than saying this two-letter word; and in working with my clients, I find that I can confidently say that I am not alone.
Fear of saying this word is quite common.
So, why is it so hard to say no?
Well, there are several reasons. We think that if we say no, we will upset someone, hurt their feelings, or not be accepted. We also like to avoid creating conflict or ruffling feathers.
It can also be linked to the need to seek approval from others. This often stems from childhood and societal experiences that lead us to believe we could not be loved for simply being ourselves.
