This exact topic just came up with my kids and they were like, What?

You can do that?

So one of the things that I hear about uh back in pandemic times, although or pre-pandemic, when I was doing a lot of speaking in person, but it it's also come up on speaking engagements virtually too.

But one thing that I

always bring up and people always go, What?

You can do that?

And then they try it and then their minds are blown.

Is I say

You know, I think the the reason that we as people struggle with saying no is because we feel like we need to make an excuse about it.

And sometimes we don't have a I'm using air quotes, legitimate excuse, and we don't want to lie, right?

That doesn't feel great.

So I have told people repeatedly.

You don't have to say, you don't have to give an excuse.

You can just say, no, thank you.

Thank you for thinking of me.

I'm not available.

And you don't have to give an excuse.

When I told my kids this this past weekend in the car, they could not believe that anybody would take that for an answer.

And I'm like, Yeah, I do it all the time.

And and once I started doing it, I always recommend to people if your listeners want to take away something to do this week.
