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

Man sits by me on train.
MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here
ME: Really?
MAN: Loads mate
ME: How'd you know?
MAN: There's signs aren't there?
ME: I guess?
MAN: I love them
(47 minutes of awkward silence.)
Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.

You can start over at any time. At any age. You have more choice in control in your life than you’ve been told.

Most of our limits exist within our own thoughts.

Thoughts are not truths.

"Never-words are conversation stoppers". This is an excellent article, probing the use of language and its impact on patients, families & caregivers.

Disrespect doesn’t just make people feel bad. It leads them to perform worse.

Evidence from medical teams: Even a single insult decreases the quality of diagnoses and procedures. Rudeness disrupts focus and undermines collaboration.

Civility is not optional. It’s vital.

A must listen

[Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath]

Here’s Michelle Obama’s full remarks tonight. If you weren’t able to listen live, I encourage you to listen when you have the time.

It’s of the best DNC speeches I’ve heard over the course of the last half a century.

The Parenthood backs calls for early childhood educators to be paid fairly. Without early educators, there is no early education.

Early childhood educators need to be valued, supported and paid better.
