Say No

Saying No is Okay

July 28, 2021

It’s okay to say no. Don’t let other people make you think otherwise. 

When you are wanting to have a balanced life. When you are wanting to not have overwhelm and to just have harmony in your life which is the goal of being an elegant warrior, it is okay to say no. 

It is totally okay. 

As women, we are naturally people pleasers. We want to say yes to everything because it’s in our nature to want to make the people around us happy, to take care of people. But if you say yes to every single request then you are going to be depleted, exhausted, and burned-out. 

The goal is to be balanced, beautiful and abundant.

If somebody asks you for something and  if it doesn’t light you up, if it is not a resounding yes or a hell yes, walk away! Saying No might be the ultimate self-care. 

Walk away from hell maybe’s and obviously walk away from hell no’s. 

Unless something is really a full-bodied yes, then you don’t have to do it. It’s okay to decline and say no. 

It’s okay to change your mind, too. You can change your mind anyday, anytime. If it doesn’t serve you anymore. It’s okay to reschedule an appointment you once said yes to. 

Don’t worry if you want to say NO to something you’ve said YES to. It is perfectly fine. 

It is also important to say NO while maintaining relationships. It creates healthy boundaries and it gives clarity on what people can expect from you. 

Say NO

If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no.

If it doesn’t light you up, say no

And if you’re not sure what to do, go with the activity that feels lighter. Go with the activity that makes your life more simple and creates more peace. 

Say no today, and remember you’re worth it,it is important to love yourself and respect yourself, your energy, your beliefs, and the abundance of your time. 

If you want the time, freedom, and energy, start saying no!  And it is actually more powerful to say no than to say yes because you can just easily say yes.
