Dear My Loyal 5, We have all found ourselves in situations before where we don’t want to do something but seem to be pushed right into it. Sometimes it is easier to just back down, but at other times we really do need to dig our stiletto heels in! Whether it be your friend forcing you out for cocktails or your partner insisting that his family move in for the winter - We ladies need to master the art of saying NO once and for all, and here’s just how to find your voice: · Respect Yourself: When you find yourself in an awkward situation where you are being forced into doing something, the person doing the doing the forcing is putting their own needs ahead of yours. Don’t be scared to speak up and let them know that although you understand their needs, you can’t make them a priority over your own. This shows that you won’t be pushed around and that you respect yourself. · Stick to your Guns: Feeling vulnerable? Instead of staying out of the way of that certain manipulating friend, try growing a pair and sticking to your guns. Manipulators know when we are at our most vulnerable and go in for the kill. They ignore objections and go with a common interrogation tactic of asking the same question over and over again until you cave in. However, if you stick to the same reply without over justifying it, they will get tired and you will get heard. · What’s in it for me?: Ask yourself 'what’s in it for me?'. If after assessing the situation you find the answer is a big fat nothing, then rid yourself of guilt and walk away to what you do actually want to do. Your self worth will increase and you may as well pour yourself a glass of wine to celebrate! Note: Single? There is nothing more attractive to a man than a woman who believes in and respects herself. Turn up that dateometor ladies, you’re about to in demand!
