NOPE
You can be the most brazen badass and still find it hard to say nope in certain situations. 🤦‍♀️

Why? Because saying no can be awkward. Or it can make you feel guilty or rude. Sometimes it can feel like saying no will cause you to miss out on something. Other times, you might avoid saying no because you don’t like conflict. Or you might fear it’ll lead to losing a friend or significant other. Basically, saying no makes many of us feel disagreeable—and who wants that label?

But here’s some truth: Saying nope can be a smart, liberating, healthy, self-respecting thing to do. So please don’t feel guilty when you know that saying no is right for you. There is no shame in saying no, especially if you know how to say it in any situation.

Created with heishi clay beads and hermatite. A beautiful combo!
