6 powerful, assertive ways of saying ‘No’.

Assertiveness is a very important life skill in both personal and professional life.

The ability to stand up for what we believe in, and communicate in an assertive (appropriate) manner results in high self-confidence, increased self-esteem, and healthy self-respect.

Benefits of being assertive in life:

• Instant self-esteem and confidence boost;
• Your chances of getting what you want out of life improve greatly;
• Handle personal and professional conflicts with confidence and self-assurance;
• Ask for what you deserve, whilst allowing others to communicate their needs also;

  Expressing yourself directly at the time means that resentment and anger don’t build up;

• Improve coping skills;
• Build stronger, fulfilling relationships in personal and professional life;
• Transform family (including children) relationships.

You will learn how and why your negative beliefs about saying ‘no’ hold you back, and how you can change your thinking and behavior.

Many people have great difficulty saying “No” to others.

Even people who are quite assertive in other situations may find themselves saying Yes” to things that they don’t want to do.

The effects of not being able to say “No”:

1. If you say “Yes” when you mean “No”, resentment and anger can build up towards the person you have said “Yes” to, even though they have done nothing wrong.
2. You can also become increasingly frustrated and disappointed with yourself.
3. And if you are taking on more than you can cope with, you can become overworked and highly stressed.
4. In the long term. not being assertive in this way can decrease your self-esteem and lead to depression and anxiety.

That’s why I’m so excited to share with you HOW you can say ‘NO’ without feeling that:

• Saying “no” is rude and aggressive.

• Saying “no” is unkind, uncaring, and selfish.

• Saying “no” will hurt and upset others and make them feel rejected.

• If I say “no” to somebody they won’t like me anymore.

• Others’ needs are more important than mine.

• I should always try and please others and be helpful.

• Saying “no” over little things is small-minded and petty.
