'The suffocation when you feel the pressure of acquiescing means you end up pleasing nobody.' Here, we examine the power for saying no.
Having been a self-proclaimed 'yes' person for her entire life, Amanda Cassidy explores the power of saying no and standing firm in the decision to prioritise her own needs.
I find myself saying yes to taking a friends child to a party I wasn’t even going to send my daughter to. I say yes to meeting friends when I am under pressure with work. I say yes to a walk with another friend because I’m afraid she’ll stop asking me if I don’t. I say yes to the two extra work articles though I’m at capacity.
I get where Dawn is coming from. I’m a classic people pleaser. I say yes and immediately regret it afterwords. The thing is, Ito actually help, the problem is the execution of the favour because I’m not only at capacity, but I’m beyond it. When we take on too many or the wrong things, we waste time, energy, and money and distract ourselves from what’s really important. Still, no one wants to disappoint colleagues or friends—or, worse, turn down key career and life opportunities.So I have started to learn when and how to say both no and yes. I’m starting to learn that a considered no protects me. The right yes means I can make a difference, collaborate successfully, and increase my enjoyable moments.
