Monday Mindfulness: The Art of Saying No

Season 1, Ep. 20

Have you ever struggled to say no, feeling guilty or selfish for setting boundaries? In this Monday Mindfulness, I dive into the art of saying no - a compassionate act of self-care that protects our energy and creates space for what truly matters. Together, let's explore why it's so hard to decline requests, how mindfulness can help us evaluate commitments, and how to let go of guilt when we choose to prioritize ourselves. I’ll also guide you through a calming meditation to help you practice saying no with kindness and confidence.
