We often in our lives confront a lot of situations where our mind and hearts are in conflict with each other. Your intellectual part of the brain wants you to say no but there comes the emotional part of your heart too which refrains you from saying no.
But by saying yes to every situation, we often fail to realize that, we are giving so much of our valuable time to things we don’t even want to get indulged into. Therefore, it is must that we comprehend the skills of saying no.
It often seems to us that saying no will make us look rude and will portray us in a negative sight but it is essential for our own self. You must know one thing, you cannot make everyone happy. For your own better life, you will have to disappoint some people at one point of life or other. So why not learn how to do it in such a way that it doesn’t hurt their sentiments and you get your own time as well!
‘I will let you know ‘
Instead of saying no, use sentences like ‘I will let you know ‘. If you are a person who can’t say straight no to someone, use this sentence. It will be more gentle and won’t leave a negative impact of yours in front of anyone.
Avoid justifications
If you don’t want to say yes to anything, just directly say no without giving any explanations for the same. You don’t owe others any explanation. If you have previously given your commitment for any work, then you should state reasons but if you have not, then just say no.
Just say no whenever you don’t want to say yes. You are not obliged to please everyone. People who will understand it, will simply not get offended.
