NO!
speak it out loud.
Why is this blog titled ‘NO’? The answer is simple — this is the word that we often are hesitant to say out loud.
The hesitance has two main reasons to it —
Not knowing how to explain abstinence.
Not wanting to hurt the other person.
These may sound absurd but believe me, there are many who are bullied by these emotions. While I am a hardworking employee at the company, my rights to say are sometimes reserved. But, I do tackle this in many ways —
- Cook up a story to say NO. Story speaks volumes.
- Get a person alongside (probably the person who works with you) who knows your problem.
- Say NO straightaway. Just as the work is assigned to you, say no, if you think that you cannot handle the workload.
- Make a casual statement like — I wish there were two of me — they get to know that the burden is too much to bear.
Saying ‘no’ more often makes your place in the area, and you come out strong. It’s often a normal issue to feel bad after saying the word, but have faith, this would make you feel great.
Honestly, I still am feeling bad for saying no a few weeks back, but today it’s another episode, and another ‘no’ is on the way.
