Hello Readers,

 How are you? I hope well. I want to talk to you about something that I know everyone has a hard time with, especially in the relationship spectrum of life. That is knowing when to speak up and declare NO to a situation that you know is not only bad for you but unhealthy. Oftentimes we enter into relationships knowing in the backs of our minds that it is not the best thing for us. For many, we do not give up on the situation for the fear of begin alone or failure. What we don’t realize is that giving up is actually a strength. When you come to a point where saying no is the best thing you can say, it says to that situation that you’ve done everything you can do in your own power and now you just have to walk away.  Take for instance, you and your special someone have been together for a while and despite everything, you cannot get him to truly show affection. You’ve tried to get him to talk, flowered him with more  affection and nothing works. That’s when you may come to the decision that you have to say no. Say no to someone not showing their feelings, not talking and no to not begin loved the way you deserve. We all have gone through this believe me, I know I have. Saying no is a part of life. We just have to figure out when and why we’re saying no. Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Ask yourself, When should you say no?, What are you saying no to? and Why are you saying no? Think about it.

Love, Leo
