Answer:
- Recognize Your Limits: Understand that you have limits to your time, energy, and resources. Saying no is necessary to protect these limits and prevent burnout.
Use "I" Statements: When declining a request, use "I" statements to take ownership of your decision. For example, say, "I'm unable to commit to this right now" instead of making excuses or blaming external factors.
- Offer Alternatives (If Appropriate): If you feel comfortable, offer alternatives or compromises when saying no. This can help soften the impact and show that you're still willing to help within your limits.
- Reflect on Your Values: Regularly reflect on your values and goals in life. This can reinforce your commitment to prioritizing what matters most to you and saying no to distractions or obligations that don't align.
With practice & Patience one can get comfortable saying "No" and prioritizing yourself.
