Practice saying no

 Practice saying no

For just one

week, say “no” to every request

for a personal favor, unless it’s

of life-threatening importance.

When anyone asks you for a favor

(other than, of course, “Could you

please save my life?”), say no. This

will prove to you that the world

won’t end if you say no, and will

teach you on a visceral level that

your personal power belongs to

you and not others. If this sounds

terrifying, it’s probably the right

thing for you to try. You can do it

- it’s just one week!
