My most loved day of the year is the day we change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time. The clock goes back, giving me a valuable additional hour. I generally appear to require additional time — throughout the years, my desire to please hasn’t made a difference. I don’t review it being in such interest in my 20’s.
One of my vices is, like most of us, I want to accomplish beyond what I can. This frequently prompts helping other people take care of their issues over my own. I would prefer not to disillusion my youngsters, I needed to address my folks’ issues as they matured, do my best at work, and be accessible for the board of trustees or association requesting help. In this way, I consented to whatever was asked of me; I didn’t need others to think I was narrow minded and cold-blooded — something that often happens when you turn somebody down. However, there are only a certain number of hours in a week, and something needed to give. To put it plainly, I couldn’t say no.
I understood that I expected to do a good job of setting up and guarding my limits. They are vital to putting more prominent accentuation on your confidence and your objectives — and not being a deep rooted accommodating person covered in a torrential slide of ‘to-dos’.
How I figured out how to state ‘NO’ easily
My over-burden, never-ending fatigue and dissatisfaction were the driving force for composing The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say it and Mean it―and Stop People-Pleasing Forever. From my exploration, I discovered that you can say no to companions, neighbors, family, associates, supervisors and even pushy sales reps without harming connections.
I recommend this book to help you get your life back.
