But I had to say no because I am planning a home birth and will have pool set up etc etc... As I spoke to my sis I could hear the dissappointment in her voice... as she said things like "not even for just a couple of hours?" but I held really firm and said no. I explained why and she understood... but saying no is not essy for me. Like you say, people get used to you saying yes, and when you detatch your ego and need to be approved/liked etc it frees you up to be more authentic and not not just a big endless giver that then burns out or feels resentful. Saying no is really another way of saying Yes to what you need and want in life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811719111331999575noreply@blogger.com
