How Do You Say No Without Guilt and Still Be a Good Person?

Fair warning: this episode is going to feel awkward. We're actually going to practice saying no together, out loud, right now. Ready? Say it with me: "No." Again, louder: "No." How does that feel? Rude? Uncomfortable? Like you're breaking some unspoken rule? Perfect. That discomfort is exactly what we're working with. Because if you can't say no without a 47-minute explanation and three apologies, your yes doesn't actually mean anything. Today we're practicing the most underrated spiritual discipline: boundaries. Jesus said no all the time, to demands on his time, to his own family, to performing miracles on command. He protected his yes by saying no to what wasn't his. So let's practice together. This might feel weird. Good. That means you're breaking a pattern.Subscribe free to my newsletter: ⁠⁠http://eepurl.com/hiV8TH⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.brendabertrand.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠
