No, a very little word, but one that holds a great deal of power.
In our society we tend to view saying no as negative but saying no does not mean that you are being rude, selfish, or unkind. These are all unhelpful beliefs that make it hard to say no to certain people and certain situations.
We need to change the way we think about using the word no because when we do make the choice to say no it is empowering and freeing.
Being able to say no is necessary magic. ”No, draws a circle around you with chalk and says I have given enough.”
There is a language pattern that I use to help people to create personal boundaries. The following is an excerpt from this language pattern:
“You are able to let others know where your boundaries are, and you will be surprised by how swiftly people will respond to your new found sense of positivity and strength. You will be surprised to find that people actually admire and respect your focus and effortless command of your own boundaries. And you are surprised yourself at how effortlessly you are able to hold that centre space, feeling good about resurrecting your personal space. Relieved, that you have finally taken back control. You can feel proud of that. You can feel proud of yourself as you learn how to say no.”
