What was that word again? I keep forgetting…

woman wonderingMore often than not women forget one little word that can save so much time and energy and change our days and weeks considerably.  It’s such a simple one, but it just does not roll off the female tongue easily or naturally.

What a shame.

Do you know what word we are talking about?  Of course you do, but we know you’re hesitant to use it because it makes you feel mean, anxious and/or guilty.  The word we are talking about has two letters AND is a full sentence.

Have you guessed it yet?  Yes…no…maybe so.  Well it definitely is one of these three options and if you are a Burnout Queen you need to learn to say NO fast.  There we said it!

This is a vital communication skill both at work and in your personal life.  By learning to say No, you set limits for yourself and others.  Say No out loud if…

— you are taking on more than you can manage

— your deadlines are unreasonable and unrealistic

— you feel stretched to be in 3 different places at once

Come on give it a go and learn to say No.  You’ll end up saying YES TO SANITY!
