Is it time to say no?<\/p><\/div>\n

It has been my experience that most humans are people pleasers. \u00a0They want to make everyone, at least in their immediate circle of family and friends, happy. \u00a0They do this at the sacrifice of themselves and their own time and at some point they start feeling drained or even resentful if the requests keep pouring in.<\/div>\n

Do you think it is time you start telling people in your world ‘no’?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Chris Gillibeau<\/a> in his book “The Art of Non-Conformity<\/a>” says to ask “What is the worst thing that will happen if I say no?” \u00a0Most of the time the answer is nothing. \u00a0If it isn’t a life or death situation then you need to consider whether you want to spend your time doing the request.<\/div>\n

This isn’t to say you should be self serving and only thinking of yourself. \u00a0There are plenty of times that you want to help others when asked. \u00a0But before you do consider all of the factors and whether you truly have the time to give at that moment. \u00a0Time is a precious thing so handle with care.<\/div>\n
