5 Ways to Say No
Fall brings a fresh schedule and plenty of opportunities to get involved in activities that leave precious little time for ourselves!
I have been having a hard time lately saying no. Here are five ways you can say no to others. Remember saying no to others is saying yes to you!
Saying NO Can Mean Saying YES
- “I’m sorry. That’s not a priority for me right now.”
- “Before I take this on for you, let me show you a few things so that you might be able to do it yourself.”
- “Thanks for thinking to ask me, but, no thanks.”
- “Now that’s the type of thing I would love to help you on if only I had the time.”
- “I can’t help you on this now, but how about next week?
What is your favorite way to say no?

I love my life! I have a passion and a purpose to share my recipe for health and happiness with RDNs and others – maybe even more so now that I’ve officially retired. If you want to learn what I discovered through coaching 1000 people over 9000 hours check out my final post, “Live Like This Is Your Last Day. Someday It Will Be!”
“THANK YOU for sharing years of your energy with us (with ME). Several years ago, I attended a seminar you taught, and I got some great ideas so I subscribed to Abundant Mondays and I’m so very happy I did. You make a difference in my life even though we have never met. I continue on my journey to adjust and adapt to the changes life brings and to remain positive and a positive influence. With your help.” -KJ
