Even if that’s saying yes to putting yourself first.

Most of us find it difficult saying no to others. That could be at work, friends asking if you want to go out or family asking you for a lift into town.

We worry about letting people down, feeling incapable or others judging us.

We shouldn’t say no all the time because it’s good to help, but it is ok to decline when you’re at capacity or just need to stop.

I always try and help people understand why I can’t help this time, and I always try and keep my tone in check.

Be ok with it, you can’t do everything all of the time.
