LEARNING TO SAY “NO”
Hey there! I hope you’ve been keeping really well and you’ve had the chance to enjoy the sunshine we’ve been treated to recently. I have most certainly been very grateful for the extra vitamin D! Living by the sea during the spring and summer months really makes-up for the harsher winters.
This month’s theme is all about using our voice in an assertive way to relay and express our thoughts and feelings and to generally be better at saying “no” in circumstances where we really don’t want to do something! It’s taken me all of 42 (ahem) years to find my voice and to utilise it in a firm, but fair, way to say no to things that don’t serve my highest good. I’ve always admired people for whom this comes naturally; I actually used to cringe when I encountered someone who was able to use their assertiveness to convey their real thoughts and emotions.
