Def Leppard high and dry… (not as good as on through the night) But the song No No No… on cassette 

 

 

MTT. 5:37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. ( the evil one) 

 

pain-ridden, emphasizing the inevitable agonies (misery) that always go with evil.

 

 

2 Tim. 1;7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

 

It takes self control to say no. 

 

Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. (all things does not mean everything) 

 

When should you say no?

 

These five thoughts

 

1. If you feel uncomfortable

Nobody knows your limits better than you do. If you are asked to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable, it could be a sign that you need to say no. Take a moment to do some mindful breathing and listen to your intuition.

 

2. You feel guilty or obligated

Look at work, it can be particularly difficult to say no. Your job may require you to do what superiors delegate tasks to you. But there are times when it might be right to question wether to say yes or no. 

And outside of work… never say yes due to guilt or obligation.  

 

 

3. When you’re overloaded

Look some of us can do 10 things at once and still take on more. Some of us set a list of 25 goals for the year. There are others of us who need to limit their day to 3 things. Their goals may only be 2 for the year. But only you know when you are overloaded… when you feel that way, say no.

 

 

4. If the request crosses your personal boundaries, your moral compass or questions your morals… say no. 

Its not worth living with that regret for the rest of your week or even life. 

 

5. If you are only saying yes to please someone else - Then first please yourself and say NO.
