Getting Help To Attain Your 2023 Goals by Saying NO

Host May Yeo Silvers starts off the new year by helping you attain the 2023 goals that you set for yourself during her goal setting series. In today’s episode, she discusses how saying no is another way of asking for help.    Many people struggle with saying no. If you have a hard time setting boundaries for yourself, there are many ways to practice saying no in different ways. Instead of saying no outright, you can ask questions such as, ‘can it be done later?’ This way you can determine if what you’re being asked to do is actually worth your time. When people are more discerning about asking for help and they know you are willing to say no, it becomes more apparent when someone actually really does need help.    You cannot reach your 2023 goals completely on your own. It will take a support system and the best way to reach your goals is to begin training that support system now. By saying no and letting people know to only reach out for help when they truly need it, AND vice versa, you can begin to train the people around you to respect your boundaries and to be the supportive village you need.   Quotes • “The reality is to attain what you have set out to attain, it takes a village.” (2:54-3:02 | May)  • “In order for us to have stamina, in order for us to gain momentum, and continue with the momentum, we need to learn that one person doing it is good. Many people helping you to push you to move forward is best.” (5:32-5:54 | May) • “You'll be surprised if you open your mouth, people are willing to help. You know why? Because it has shown that when we help someone we feel good about ourselves.” (7:39-7:49 | May) • “There is another way to ask for help apart from asking someone to help you to do something. Another way to ask for help is to say no.” (9:34-9:44 | May) • “Saying no to negative thoughts will be the first step.” (11:36-11:40 | May) • “In order to get a buy-in from your village, your village needs to know what is the end goal? How's it going to benefit me?” (18:01-18:09 | May)   Links Connect with me at: [email protected] Website: events4anyone.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mayyeosilvers Facebook: www.facebook.com/mayyeosilvers IG: www.instagram.com/mayyeosilvers TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayyeosilvers  FB private group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/events4anyone   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
