Your transformation journey starts here
Learning how to set boundaries and how to say no are the keys to sustaining healthy relationships with yourself and others.
5 key principles for the art of yes and no
- Pick one thing or area to start with, in the next week or month.
- Start before you’re ready. The first NO will feel uncomfortable and strange. But it gets easier the more you practice.
- Learn through doing and having the conversation. See #2.
- Make listening to your needs a daily practice.
- It’s your responsibility to meet your needs. No one else can do it for you.
