What to do when you want to say no
Many people find it difficult to say “yes” to something new. Now obviously you don’t want to say yes to everything, but sometimes people wish they hadn’t rushed into the reasons why not.  The reason people don’t want to say yes is often a fear of the unknown, and not wanting to commit. With my career coaching clients we will often use the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) and from this we identify some people as being more introverted. These people need to take time to weigh things up, to consider the options and this can mean that they miss out. So what can help you to say yes?
- Don’t listen to the voice in your head that says “No”. See a “STOP” sign so you don’t focus on all the reasons why not
- Remeber the time you said YES and the results were fantastic. you could either have some photos as a reminder or visualise the fantastic results in your mind.
- Say YES in a positive and upbeat voice - it will increase your positive feelings and help you to get excited for what is coming up.
Why not give this a try?
