"My no protects my yes, and my boundaries create my freedom."
Ever found yourself saying yes to everything, only to realise you're knee-deep in commitments that don't align with your true priorities? Dr. Quentin Moore's podcast episode, 'Saying No to Say Yes', is here to help you untangle that web. As a seasoned family nurse practitioner and educator, Dr. Moore brings his wealth of experience in primary care and addiction medicine to the table, teaching you how to strategically say no and reclaim your time and energy.
He introduces the No Formula – a straightforward three-part framework designed to guide your decision-making process. Dr. Moore emphasises that every yes you give is a no to something else. When you say yes to an extra project at work, you're saying no to precious family time. But why do we find it so hard to say no? It's often because we want to be helpful or fear disappointing others. Yet, this tendency can leave us overwhelmed and resentful.
Successful individuals understand that saying no is strategic, not selfish. The episode outlines the No Formula, which includes an alignment check, capacity reality, and opportunity cost assessment. Dr. Moore offers practical approaches for declining requests gracefully, like the Appreciative No, Alternative No, and Future No. These methods are kind and clear, ensuring your boundaries are respected without lengthy explanations. Dr. Moore challenges you to list your top priorities and reassess current commitments.
By practising strategic no, you'll protect your yes for what truly matters. This episode isn't just about saying no – it's about creating freedom and focus in your life. So why not give it a listen and start transforming your yes today?
