I love this, Belinda. You address a serious challenge we women have saying no–which can indeed be depleting for us– but with some hilarious spins, too!

Blessings to you for such a wonderful and insightful list. I am working on some affirmations also to help me with confidence and esteem & I have a Boundries Bible study that is not yet completed, but I am a fan of them and it reminds me that when an answer is right for you, it is right for those around you. We all know that when we accept things that we don’t want to, and are too tired to do effectively, our health suffers & and often our reputations because often the quality that results is comprimised. Being a people pleaser is often a direct route to depression.

Thanks for your wonderful gift.

I love this!

It’s wretched when someone asks you to do something and you feel you have to disappoint/anger/surprise them by refusing.

I had my pastor’s wife ring and ask me if I would run the Sunday school. My immediate reply was, “Only if you put a gun to my head.”

While we weren’t, perhaps, such good friends after that, I was saved from dealing with hundreds of screaming children on a weekly basis. If I’d only known of your post (and multitudinous options containing varying degrees of rejection) I may have had my cake, and eaten it too.

Thanks for sharing!
