Why is it so difficult to say no to people? Why do we feel guilty, even though deep down we don’t want to agree to what’s being asked of us? In this episode of the Mindful Life Changes podcast, join your host Valerie Mekki as she delves into why we struggle to refuse others and how to say yes to ourselves without feeling guilty.
Valerie provides insights into why midlifers particularly wrestle with people-pleasing tendencies and offers helpful prompts on how to gracefully decline requests. Learn practical strategies to give yourself a 'graceful timeout,' allowing you the time and space to decide what you truly want to commit to. Plus, an empowering affirmation to shift your perspective of saying no and saying yes to you instead. Tune in to start your journey towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Formerly known as the "Mindful Career Change Podcast," I decided to broaden our conversation to cover all life transitions, not just our careers.
Follow the show @mindfullifechanges and DM a question or comment about the life transitions you're going through too. I might answer your question in one of the episodes to help you and other midlifers navigate this everchanging and beautiful season of life.
