Why Learning To Say ‘No’ Can Be A Good Thing

The word ‘No’ is often associated to being negative, and while ‘No’ is a form of negative statement, it can affect you in a good way. Especially in a professional environment, we are programmed to say ‘Yes’ to everything, especially when the request comes from our superiors. We are programmed to think that by saying ‘Yes’ we are showing how hard-working we are. However, often times, it takes a toll on our mind and body.
If you are already slammed with a month’s work but you are given another task that will require you to postpone other tasks, politely say ‘No’ and then explain about the work load that you already have. As busy as work can get, it is important to take care of your body and soul and that means, declining to some request.
Such case is true for your personal life as well. For example, it is okay to say ‘No’ to a weekend party because you want to read and rest at home instead. It is okay to say ‘No’ to going out because you want to save money instead. At the end of the day, you have to remember to take care of yourself first before you take care of anything else.

Treat Yourself To Motivate Yourself

Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Going to the gym or eating healthy food is harder than sitting on the sofa or eating fast food. Doing your studies are harder than playing video games with your friends. In order for you to motivate yourself, use the treatment system. What this means is that once you accomplish doing a task, decide a treat for yourself. For example, if you successfully manage to go to the gym for 4 days a week, treat yourself to a nice lunch at a 5 star restaurant. If you finish your studies, treat yourself to a well-deserve bubble bath. When you decide on treating yourself once you have accomplished a task, you will be more motivated to complete it because your mind will think about the prize that you will get at the end. Creator Academy has a range of courses to support you in building your spirit and strengths – so you can take hold of your life and your future. You deserve to live the best life you can!
