Tips and tricks covered in this episode:
Setting your values and priorities before the week starts can help you to create boundaries around your time. When people or life bring up other opportunities that aren’t aligned with your values and priorities - you can more easily say no because you have dedicated specific times for the things you do value.
One great tip and trick here is to, instead of say no, delay the time of your response. By telling someone “let me take time to consider this” you give yourself enough time to consider a thoughtful way to say no rather than just saying yes right away.
Remember that the majority of the time - when someone says “no” to us we generally don’t take it personally. So why are we so afraid to hurt people when we say no to them? Consider that next time you have to tell someone no for whatever reason.
Make sure to communicate to others rather than to avoid communication - something is better than none in these cases! It goes a long way.
