Say it Without Regrets!"},"content":{"rendered":"<h4>Start Saying No!<\/h4>\n<p>When someone asks you for a favor, do you automatically say yes, only to regret it later? It\u2019s nice to be helpful, but there is such a thing as being too helpful, especially when what someone else wants means you have to cancel your plans, take on a huge responsibility, spend your hard-earned money or throw your work-life balance out of whack. Here\u2019s why <a title=\"The Art of Saying &quot;No&quot; and Meaning It\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2011\/05\/the-art-of-saying-no-and-meaning-it.html\"><strong>you can say no without feeling guilty<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/search.aspx\"><em><strong>Speak to a live psychic today and get all your relationship questions answered!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The \u201cWill You Babysit My Kids\u201d No<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you ever had a friend, neighbor or family member ask you to babysit their kids? <strong><a title=\"4 Questions to Ask Before Saying Yes\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2013\/08\/questions-ask-saying-yes.html\">It can be really hard to say no<\/a><\/strong>, but you can still refuse without feeling like a jerk. Maybe you\u2019re not comfortable around children. Maybe you don\u2019t like children. What if they get hurt or sick while in your care? Maybe you don\u2019t want that kind of responsibility. Maybe you have plans. Whatever the reason, you don\u2019t have to feel obligated to watch someone else\u2019s children. If someone misses an appointment or a date because you said no, don\u2019t feel guilty. Their children are their responsibility, not yours.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>The \u201cWill You Work Late\u201d No<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When your boss asks you to work late or on the weekends, do you say yes when you really want to say no? No one wants to work overtime, especially when they aren\u2019t getting paid for it. And even if you do get paid extra, working overtime really disrupts your work-life balance. So say &#8220;no&#8221; if you don\u2019t want to put in extra time, especially if you were never told the job required overtime. And even if you knew the job required overtime when you took it, you can still say no. But you may want to think about looking for another job with a better work-life balance.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Anasela ext. 5154\" href=\"https:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/newcustomer\/v5\/completecheckout\/?extid=5154&amp;nostep=true&amp;utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-anasela-ext-5154\"><em><strong>Get a live psychic reading from Anasela ext. 5154 and learn how to improve your work-life balance!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The \u201cPlease Donate to My Cause\u201d No<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s nice to have a giving spirit, but if you donated money to every charity your friends, family, co-workers and acquaintances supported, you\u2019d go broke. So how do you say no without feeling like an unfeeling miser? You can allot a certain amount of money each month or each year to charity and then dole it out as you see fit. Some causes are more important to you than they are to others. What matters is that you are giving something.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Catherine ext. 5116\" href=\"https:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/newcustomer\/v5\/completecheckout\/?extid=5116&amp;nostep=true&amp;utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-catherine-ext-5116\"><em><strong>If you get a psychic Tarot reading from Catherine ext. 5116, you&#8217;ll know when you&#8217;ll come into some money.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The \u201cCan You Loan Me Some Money\u201d No<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a few dollars, a few hundred or a few thousand, loaning money can cause a lot of problems, yet people ask their friends or family for money all the time. If someone is asking to borrow money, it may be because they think you won\u2019t hound them about paying you back or perhaps you\u2019ll consider it a gift and not a loan. Don\u2019t loan anyone money in the first place, but if you do, make sure you get it in writing when and how they will pay you back! You don\u2019t have to give someone money just because they ask for it. You\u2019ve worked hard for it. You\u2019ve earned it.
