Say positive no

How to say a positive no!

At the end of this lesson you will have learned enough English vocabulary and managed your ideas to get ready to speak about how to say no without giving others a sense of rejection.

We all have felt the swell of anxiety when we reluctantly said yes to something that we’d rather not do, but we do it against all of our heart desire. When it is not even a matter of duty and we accept to do something just out of our desire to please others. We just fire back a passive yes, because it is far easier and effortless than finding a way to positively put down someone’s request.

To stand up to ourselves, sometimes we need to disappoint others and prioritize people and tasks. We already have a stacked schedule when someone approaches asking for a favor, or something starts to fight for your attention; the only thing that can help you survive is your will-power and determination.

Otherwise, doing things that are not any key priority in your life, and just out of instant gratification or pleasing others, can leave you stressed out, over booked and anxious; even if you are not determined enough to say no, saying maybe can buy you time to put more thoughts into the decision. It can also bring more value and positivity to your yes. Don’t you think so?

Let’s learn more about this topic and get ready to speak about it in English.

Now it’s time to expand on what you already know about this topic. Enjoy the rest of the lesson!
