Do you say “YES” when you really mean “No”

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Hello everyone,

Does this ever happen to you; people ask you to do things but because of your good nature or respect for them you do things that you wish you would not have gotten roped into. We will be talking a lot about this over the next few pod casts; because sometimes; our mouth just opens and says yes before we even knew what we were doing. Then later on we say; oh how did I let that happen again, or its ok it won’t take me very long. But what you are doing is enabling the other person and they take advantage of your good nature. How to take back your control is what we will be talking about in this series of podcasts.

W hy do you want Control to choose to say Yes/No when that is what you want to say?

1) You will be less tired

2) You will have time for you to do the things that matter to you

3) You will get more respect; which will boost your self esteem

4) People will ask you to do things less and only ask you when they really need it

5) You will learn that you are probably doing other things on auto pilot that you really don’t have to be doing?

Warmest, regards
