Nobody likes to hear a “No”, but the sad truth is that a little “No” here and there will make the world a better place for us all. Many struggle with saying No and that’s solely because they don’t want to hurt the feelings of others. So they tend to always agree to things, even when it’s causes them discomfort or inconvenience.
As my gist to you this new month, I come through with 10 nice ways to say the word “NO” unapologetically.
Journey with me…
1. Sounds nice, but I’m unavailable
2. I’m honored that you asked me but I can’t do it.
(Did you notice how there was no apology in there?)
3. I’m sorry, but I can’t help you at this time
4. Unfortunately, it’s not a good time
5. I’m unavailable at the moment, perhaps next time.
6. Unfortunately, this isn’t something I can do right now.
7. I really appreciate you asking me, but I can’t commit to that right now.
8. Sorry, but I can’t make it. Maybe some other time.
9. Thanks for thinking of me, but I can’t.
10. No, thanks.
