003 - "NO" is a full sentence

 Saying “yes” when you want to say “NO” often comes from a fear of disappointing others, conflict, or wanting to be liked. But over time, it can lead to stress, resentment, and burnout.

Learning to say “NO” kindly but firmly is an act of self-respect. You don’t owe explanations—your peace is reason enough. 


Start small, practice often. Your boundaries are valid.
