The Power of saying NO

[Terell Kirby]

On the heels of the latest Actualized.org video on conforming, I'm now realizing how empowering it feels to say NO.

Saying NO to unhealthy things, is saying YES to healthy.

This entire year, I've been assessing what has worked for my personal development and growth, and what hasn't (includes people, activities, ways of thinking, etc). It has become all too clear now the ways in which I limit myself and my growth for the sake of being liked and approved of.

Saying NO is one powerful, under utilized tool in this work. I hope to get better at it as I age and develop.

Yep.

Big one for so many people. It usually comes down to boundaries. ESPECIALLY WOMEN.

'No' is a complete sentence.

In my experience saying no is tough but worth it. I need to work on it.

I think  that instead of short yes or no, people should use "о, yes!)" and "no, because ...".
