Many people experience this phenomenon: Someone asks you to do something and you want to say “no”, but what comes out of your mouth is, “Yes, of course I’ll get up at 6am every day while you’re gone on vacation to water your lawn for you”. And then the ensuing internal monologue of “Damnit! Why did I just say yes to that?!?!?! What is wrong with me!?!?”.
Sound familiar? Then this week’s video is for you. Find out why you might be saying yes when you really want to say no..
Learn to Set Healthy Boundaries
If you find yourself caught up in this pattern of saying yes when you really mean no and you want to stop, check out the links below to my adult and teen groups. In both groups we talk about how to set healthy boundaries, how to say No when we mean no, and why that helps our yeses mean more.
Submit an interest form to find out more about either group and I’ll give you a free 20 minute consult to discuss your goals and make a plan for achieving them.
Adult Stress Management Group
This group is for adults who feel stretched thin between the competing demands of work and home, leaving nothing left for them. Learn how to set healthy boundaries so that you have more time for you to relax and enjoy your life, while still getting done what needs to be done.
Teen Support & Skills Group
This group is for highly sensitive teens who could use some peer support and connection, as well as some skills to help them deal with the stress and overwhelm of school pressure and social situations. Your teen will learn how to set healthy boundaries with peers and advocate for their needs at school and with others so that they feel less overwhelmed by school or resentful towards friends who take advantage of their good-hearted, generous nature.
