How to say no without guilt?

Arrow

You can't do everything, so tell it to yourself. Stop saying "yes" when you do not want to. Instead, focus on your priorities. When you set your priorities right, you are more confident to say no, without any guilt. 

Understand your limitations

If you're selfish, you will always see your side and never feel guilty about saying "no." It is your right to say "no" when you don't want to do things you don't want to. 

Convince yourself that you're not being selfish

You can't please everyone around you and must draw a line somewhere. You can please people you care about some of the time. But you can't please everyone all the time.

Know that you can't please everyone

When you say "no" to things, you say "yes" to something you would love to do. As a result, you feel less guilty about it!

Feel the things you are saying yes to when you say "no"

Take some time and think before you say "yes" to something and then immediately regret it later. When you take time and then say yes or no, you do it with conviction.

Take some time before you give your answer

You fear people may stop talking to you or deem you self-centered, or you desire to please them. Knowing your insecurities allows you to make rational judgments.

Ask yourself why do you find difficult to say no

People can emotionally manipulate you by whining, guilt-shaming, bullying, or complimenting you. But you can learn to say no without guilt by being aware of these manipulative strategies.

Understand different tactics people use to get you to say "yes."

Deny people's requests politely and in a calm tone, but be firm and clear. Also, you can express your inability to do so with a reason if you want.

Be calm and reasonable

Always remember that your self-worth depends on what you do for yourself, not others.

Empower yourself!  Learn to say no.
