I like the alternative phrases to "No". It both makes you not feel guilty and the receiving party not feeling bad!

Thank you for writing this. Learning to say no was a challenge for me, but it has improved my mental health quite a lot!

I feel the same, it’s helped my mental health a lot. For me saying no is self care!

Again, I’m totally aligned with you 😎 Saying No is a personal and a management habit to master.

Dire non pour dire un oui sur ce qui nous anime !

Agree. Sadly I once worked for an org that systematically told employees "No is not a word we use here".
