The Science of Saying No

Overcommitting may seem harmless at first, but it can lead to burnout and resentment. Learning to say “no” is a skill that protects your mental health.

Remember: you’re not rejecting people when you say no or not now or not yet. You’re setting limits so you can show up fully for the commitments you say “yes” to. Boundaries aren’t selfish; sometimes, they are essential. Quality over quantity applies here.
