Learn to Say NoWritten by David Wood
Continued from page 1 Make a List I suggested my client list areas and people in her life where she had most trouble saying no. I told her it was up to her what to do with that list. Where do you have trouble saying no? Is it perhaps time to have some honest conversations with people? Try this: “This is what I have been doing. I have been saying yes, when I have wanted to say no. I am starting to feel resentful and I don’t want to feel that way. I don't want to offend you, and I need to start listening to myself.” At very least, they will have a heads-up that things might be a little different from now one. And - it helps you make an internal shift. Taking Plunge So what is worst that could happen by saying no? You might lose some people in your life who are used to you doing what they want. Living an authentic life can seem tough. Sometimes there will be unwelcome consequences. And I say: Bring on consequences! In end, it’s worth it. Enjoy, David Wood

Continued from page 1 For guys: (Note: I won’t normally write directly for guys, but in case your wondering about my philosophy here…..) I work on premise that if you are not happy in your relationship, it is because your girlfriend or wife is not happy, and therefore does not want you to be happy. You know how when she's lit up you have a great day, but when she's not you pay? Sadly, impact of her mood on your life is widely underestimated. I don't work with men on how to get their partner to alter her behaviour or give guy more of what he wants. I work with men on how to pay attention, so they can give their women what she wants even before she asks for it. “Make her happy, and your life will flow.” Most women give out of obligation and conditioning. What would it be like to have her so happy, she's giving out of surplus? Further, because women highly value attention and consideration, and men tend to highly value producing or achieving, a great win-win game is produced if man pays attention to what his partner wants, and provides it! One could even go so far as to say that given what women go through on this planet compared to life of average man, that it's only fair! But fair is not relevant; suffice it to say this model works – wonderfully. Enjoy, David Wood
