what a great post ... I 100% believe in this simple self-respect which in turns actually respects others for who they are because they may need your role modeling on how to respectfully say no and be properly assertive like a healthy adult. Excellent!!
"No" isn't a bad word. Brilliant Share by: Monica Aggarwal Original Post Below 👇 👇 👇 "No" isn't a bad word. But somewhere along the way, we were taught it is. That good people say yes. That kindness means availability. That boundaries make you selfish. But here's the reality: → Saying yes to everything means nothing to anyone → Your burnout doesn't make you noble - it makes you unavailable → People respect clear boundaries more than resentful compliance STOP asking: "Will they be upset if I say no?" START asking: "Will I resent myself if I say yes?" This week, try to: 1️⃣ Say no to one thing without explaining why 2️⃣ Notice what happens (probably nothing catastrophic) 3️⃣ Use that freed energy for something that matters The most impactful people say no constantly. Because they know: → Every wrong yes steals energy from the right opportunity → Boundaries aren't limitations - they're force multipliers 📌 How many things are you doing right now out of guilt instead of desire? ________________________ DM us to be featured on our next post.
