Do you struggle with saying no because it creates guilt, fear, or the worry that someone will get mad, sad, or even angry? It’s no wonder saying no can feel so hard when it’s tangled up with those negative associations.

But what if saying no could feel good? What if it could even make you giggle?

I shared a simple exercise in this recent video that can help you start reshaping the way you feel about saying no. 

Here’s how it works:

One person asks a question—any question. It could be as silly as, “Can I eat your lunch?” The other person responds with a clear and simple “No.” Then, the first person celebrates the no by saying something like, “Yay! Thanks for taking care of yourself!” or “Yay! Nice boundaries!”

It sounds simple, but it’s incredibly powerful. Every time I do this exercise, I laugh and feel lighter. It’s a beautiful way to train yourself to associate saying no with something positive instead of negative.

You can try this with a partner, a friend, or even by yourself in front of a mirror. Notice how it feels to have your “no” celebrated. Over time, this simple practice can shift how you think about saying no and make it feel less like a burden and more like an act of self-care.

Speaking of transforming how you set boundaries, I’d love for you to join my upcoming free webinar:
