How to say no. A superb article: "In a world that often values compliance over authenticity....we find ourselves entangled in a web of obligations, constantly saying yes to requests that may not align with our true desires or priorities. Yet, buried beneath the layers of societal expectations & internalised guilt lies the power to reclaim our autonomy".
This article explains:
- the reasons why we always say yes
- why we should learn to say no
- how to recognise when not to say yes
- tips for learning how to say no
- different (positive) ways of saying no
- how to deal with unwelcome responses

My daughter is a paramedic who was called to people in cardiac arrest twice last week who received CPR from passers-by, massively increasing their chances of survival. Very traumatic for all.
