Withdrawal and Acceptance

I always have difficulties to say NO to people.I said YES, when my heart said otherwise. 
I reluctantly accept things/invitations that I don't want to be associated with at the first place, causes me to create immense pressure on myself. 
Just to satisfy other's wishes and to get accepted, perhaps?

But, what about the consequences?

We gave too much and nothing left for ourselves.
I'm too worn out.

I started to tell myself that IT IS OKAY TO SAY NO for several reasons:

  • my happiness does matter
  • their approvals don't matter
  • no excuses need because I just don't feel like doing it. so?
  • it's okay to say no because I decided to change my mind, even I said yes at the first place. 
  • because I'm being true to myself.


I'm now no longer a people-pleaser.
