Ask yourself this before saying no to yourself
Just like Dr. Jackson listed questions you can ask yourself when responding to someone else’s request, she listed times you should say no to yourself below:
- when you know it will lead to self-inflicted stress or pain
- when you have too much on your plate and do not need to add another thing, even if it’s for yourself
- When it’s not a priority
- When you know it will have negative consequences later
- When you know doing so will lead to avoiding a priority
- When it’s a bad habit or continued negative pattern
- When it’s wrong to do
