When Self Care Means Saying No!

Did you know that saying N0 is a act of #SelfCare? One of the best ways of taking care of yourself is learning to say no when you don’t want to do something. As you are navigating through your fast paced life, you may find yourself feeling rushed and answering “yes” before you have had time to consider the ramifications of your answer. Self care is setting boundaries and learning to say NO! Saying no will not only protect you from having to endure things that you don’t enjoy, but will also prevent you from being robbed of your valuable time. Perhaps, sometimes you say yes because you don’t want to come off as being rude or impolite. But when you say yes when you really want to say no, you may find yourself harboring unnecessary feelings of bitterness and resentment. Learn to say no to things that you really don’t want to do. By saying no, you are protecting your time and your energy. When you say no, you take your power back and give yourself the freedom to create more space and find the time to do what makes you happy. Remember your needs matter too! What things are you doing that you really don’t want to do? #SelfCareIsNotSelfish
