The Art Of Saying No

Why do we find it so hard to say no? And why do we end up saying yes to so many things that we don’t REALLY want to do?! In this week’s episode, Bev and Marina discuss the lost art of saying no. Whilst Bev is great at saying no to the school Christmas raffle, she’s not quite so successful when it comes to saying no to her 14th glass of wine at a dinner party! Marina, however, is much more ruthless when it comes to saying no to things and reveals that it’s actually her husband who says yes to everything without thinking it through.In both personal and professional situations, surely it’s better to say no than to say yes and then flake out at the last minute?When it comes to living a life that’s As Good As It Gets, perhaps we should learn to be honest and upfront with ourselves and others by saying no even when it feels awkward. You never know, we might even feel empowered in the process.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
