All of us one time or the other come to a point where we feel stuck between saying yes or no to a situation. You may hate the thing that is happening and would have already foreseen the consequences you are going to face but may still say yes. This is something you need to stop doing. Saying no to things that you don’t like and don’t want is a good thing for you only. Stop being the kindest and modest in front of everyone. Start thinking about yourself and your likes and dislikes. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar gives you some tips that will help you say no to unwanted things in life.
Many of us say yes to certain requests or things because we are afraid of saying no. We don’t want to spoil our image and relationship with anyone by declining their request. This is a mistake you need to stop making. It is not necessary that it is you who is going to help each and every individual in your life.
You need to start by observing and analyzing your behavior carefully and detect when you make such quick decisions of saying yes to unwanted things. Do you think before saying yes or you just say yes by seeing the person? When are you most likely to say yes to someone? Once you have decided on these things you shall start avoiding those circumstances that make you vulnerable. Deal with the situation in a different way.
Think before making a decision. Abrupt replying to someone asking for a favor is not a necessity. Take your time before replying and make the right decision.
Prepare yourself mentally about what you can do for someone and what would be out of the line to do for someone. Don’t get into trouble yourself while helping someone.
Politely say no to the person who is asking you for a favor. Explain your situation and your thoughts about the problem to him and make things clear. Once you have explained yourself the person will understand it and you don’t need to worry about your image.
