Saying No. Having Boundaries and sticking to them.

How often do you say yes when you really want to say no, but you do not want to disappoint the person making the request? 

Saying yes when no is really in your best interest will cause burnout and resentment.   No is not negative.  No is honouring yourself.   

For seven years I have been a consistent volunteer for our community, and now I am saying no.   Why? because I am tired of the behind the scenes politics.   Some people are addicted to drama and complaining and I am choosing to not engage.  My summer was so wonderful that I wish to keep that energy going.  To do so I am saying no to volunteer positions, projects and people.   I will keep you posted on the progress.
