You have to learn how to say the magic word -No. It is absolutely fine to define boundaries create boundaries and do not get yourself overburdened with so much work.

Learn to use your wisdom when you say "Yes" and when to say "No".You should know the difference and timing when to use both words. Look at the perspective of both sides. Why is he asking me for this thing? What is the goal? So use your wisdom to know when to say "Yes" and When to Say “No”.

1. Be careful of your vision-Your agendas should be clear. On these things, I should say 'Yes' and on these things, I should choose 'No'.Then you will not get confused in that confused state of mind where you have to choose yes or no. Beforehand only- Choose your vision. Select your boundaries.
2. Know the implications of saying Yes- If you are saying yes, obviously then you are committing to the things. So beforehand only you should know the implications or we can say- Before jumping into saying yes-know the consequences of it.
3. Realize that saying ‘No’ is Ok:- Nothing will happen if you will say no. Nobody will be affected. They will find alternative ways, you will find alternative ways. So try to say No.
4. Choose the medium:- If somebody asked you on call and you are not comfortable in saying No. It is absolutely fine. You can choose another medium to say no. Choose what's an app or email them. It is perfectly Ok to say No.
5. Keep it simple:- Keep one thing in mind that it is not always necessary to give an over-explanation. You don't owe an explanation. If you want to say No please say no. They will always find an alternative way of doing things.                                        

6. Be respectful:- How you are saying No- matters a lot. Be assertive. Create a win-win situation. Neither the person in front feels bad neither you feel guilty of saying no. Help them in finding the alternative if you are not ready to do. It is not always necessary to find the alternative for them but if you have, help them out.

7.Make yourself less accessible to people:- Don't always be easy access to people. Learn to define your boundaries.

8. No reply also means “No”- Last and easy way to say no is not replying in return. So no need to reply to every text, every mail, every what's app. If you will not reply- it will be considered as "No".                                                      You as the individual have all the rights to define your boundaries for your mental health. Saying “ No” is the art of your mental well-being. I hope this write-up will be useful to all. I will be back with another blog till then do like, share and comment.
