Ep 342 Summertime Rewind- Why It's Hard to Say No

Please enjoy this Summertime Rewind- It's hard to say no to other people sometimes, right? And WHY is that the case, especially for women? Well.. maybe it's because if you stood up and said NO you got in trouble when you were a kid. Maybe.. you have been told by family, society, work, -that you shouldn't be too loud, talk back, disagree... And if you have a hard time saying NO I want you to know that you can learn how. But it takes some awareness of how you might be holding back. This week's podcast I describe how I've held myself back and having a lack of boundaries because pleasing other people came before pleasing myself. And when you do that you often feel discouraged, frustrated, and are hard on yourself for not saying what you actually wanted to and then at the end of the day you DRINK. Learning how to say NO AND speaking your truth and having boundaries for yourself is an art and it takes practice and awareness and the willingness to feel uncomfortable on purpose. But listen, friends, when you do... your mind and your energy will crack so wide open you will feel unstoppable, like you actually do get to choose what you want to do, and then you will DO IT. AND THEN YOU WON'T NEED TO DRINK AT THE END OF THE DAY TO SHUT OFF. And then you will start living the life you want to live on your terms. And you will ask yourself what you want first. And it's a magical, fun, happy place to be in.
