Brilliant 5-Word Phrase to Say No With Confidence
How many times have you wanted to say "no" to someone, but you're not confident enough to do it? It happens to everyone; no one is spared.
Author Justin Bariso has a fascinating article that can help to reduce stress and anxiety---in yourself and others---by learning how to say no without overexplaining.
The article starts this way:
I have a confession to make: I'm a chronic overexplainer. Maybe you can relate. Have you ever replied like this:
In an email: Sorry for the delayed reply; it's been completely crazy ...
When someone tries to sell you something: Sorry, I can't purchase your service right now. I really like it, but we just don't have the budget because we've already purchased ...
When you can't accept an invitation: Sorry, I can't make it; I have a very early appointment the next morning ...
If you have, chances are you're an overexplainer too.
Can you see where this is going? Let's move on: How To Say No --- Stop Talking
Take care and have a great day! Marlene
