Posted by Dr. Skye Holdon on 9/22/2005, 8:52 am, in reply to "BLOG A WAR WITHIN YOU" Why is it so hard for us to say the word “NO”? And how, if you have difficulty using it, do you learn to say the word? Most women find it very hard to say no and to set limits on what they do for others! It probably goes back to when we were little girls snuggling with our stuffed animals and you learned what taking care of others was all about. You watched your Grandmother do it, and you watched your Mom do it and probably you were raised to do it too. We, as women are mostly conditioned to project the welcoming and all encompassing aura of giving people what they need and want and feeling guilty if they do not. We find it hard to hurt people’s feelings or alienate them by rejecting their requests. It is a constant search for validation, for approval. Link: CLICK HERE FOR REST OF BLOG
