Day 12

Permission to Say No

without a reason

No is a complete sentence. You do not need to fill the space after it with explanations, apologies, or alternative solutions. The reason you said no is: you didn't want to. That has always been enough.

Reflect on this

  1. 1

    What have you been saying yes to that you wanted to say no to? What kept you from declining?

  2. 2

    What makes it hard for you to say no without immediately justifying it?

  3. 3

    What one thing could you decline this week — without a reason, just because you don't want to?
