This Quick Word Swap Can Make Your Commitments Under Control.

Let's admit it: it's difficult to say "no." Even if your schedule totally will not enable it, it feels terrible to turn down someone to support a project, attend a party or a night in the city. As a consequence, many guys end up saying "yes," overloading themselves by making anything lousy. However, there is an easy way to prevent becoming convinced that you will bite more than you can. Rather than tell you "can't" do what you are requested to do, say that you "do not" do anything like that.

Just Say No

For instance, imagine a friend of yours saying on Saturday night a friend bailed for a ship and was sailing all day. "You ought to come!" he suggests. That's 100 dollars per individual. Your brains are running; you have to do laundry, running instructions, finishing jobs, and above all, you are short of money. But that friend, you understand. He is persistent. If you say no, until he's convinced you to come along, he will ask a million questions.

So if you say' I can't, I have too much to do,' or,' Too much money for me, I can't do that. ' Understand that you can readily be counter by,' Don't worry, the next day you can do the laundry!' Or' Come on you don't have to purchase lattes next week. "Then, you already failed to say "no.

"I don't go out on Sundays until the tasks are finish." "I don't waste any leisure money for which I haven't made a budget." That makes the flimsy excuse and disillusioning refusal a statement. Then you can easily say, that's my way of life. Let's plan on accommodating that next time.

Turning Inward

When you talk to yourself, "I do not" always works too. Moreover, Researches Vanessa M. Patrick and Henrik Hagtvedt performed a range of studies for a study issued in the Journal of Consumer Research to see how they can use "I can't" in motivational exercises in comparison with "I don't." In one experiment, it found that cooked dietitians tented by an unhealthy snack, "I don't eat X," so that at the end of the research they were considerably more likely than dietitians to say "I can't eat X" to pick a granola bar instead of a sweet candy bar. Besides, the ten days of health program participants who were instructed to say "I don't" were far less likely to give up rather then the people who say "I can't" or "Just say No.

Why is that so effective? It gives you the power both to turn away others and to motivate yourself by saying, "I don't." "I can't" is a brief statement of principle, but "I don't" is a whole other level of commitment. You can warn yourself and shows to others exactly what type of person you are when you say, "I don't." It's a mighty word you know. As Leonardo da Vinci quotes, "One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself." (Patrick and Hagtvedt, 2008).
