Hearing a NO

Living Connected - NVC

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! See you next year! Returning Jan 5th.
Hearing a NO after a request you have asked can be just as hard as telling someone a no. There are some things you may want to check when you hear a NO from someone:

1) Notice the stories we are telling ourselves when we hear the no.

2) Am I attached to the strategy to get this need met?

3) Did you pause before responding to the NO

4) Am I willing to open a dialog with this person and get curious on why, on what are they saying yes too and is there an outcome that can work for the both of us.

5) Am I hanging on to this one person to meet my needs. Or is there someone else who can help me fulfill the needs I have.

When someone asks a request of you, you may need to check in with yourself after hearing this request so you can make a decision that best fulfills you.

1) can I do this request with ease?

2) Do I have the capacity for this?

3) What is it that I want because I want to say yes coming from a space of unconditional not from a space with obligations.

When you need to say NO, you do not feel guilty. You then acknowledge that you are saying YES to meeting your own needs in some way. For me, this is a way of self-care, getting attune with what your body and mind may need in that moment.
