How to say NO: Self-Care And Setting Boundaries for HSPs
Have you ever said yes to something and then immediately felt anxious? Setting boundaries & learning how to say no graciously are important skills in the HSP toolkit. If you want to please others and find it difficult to honour yourself at the same time, this post can help you say no with grace and live with less stress and anxiety.
This is the topic of my ‘Ask Mary’ video below!

love yourself enough to say no. Learn how to set boundaries for better relationships and less stress.
‘Ask Mary’ Is A Support Column For Sensitive Souls Living Their Best Lives
Several times each month I answer questions and provide support for highly sensitive young women who want to live their best lives. If you aren’t sure what a highly sensitive person (HSP) is, I talk a lot about that as well, so I think I have you covered on that topic! I post regularly on Facebook and then create a blog over here on my website with a bit more detail - in the form of helpful notes. I’ve done 6 of these so far and am so excited that I’ve accomplished all of this - especially because I’m a self proclaimed non-techie!
Please bring a beverage of your choice (I have my herbal tea) and enjoy the video.
What you will learn in this video:
What do I do when I’ve said YES to something, but I really wanted to say NO?
How do I say NO without hurting someone’s feelings?
What are boundaries, and how can they help me?
I have a great definition of boundaries that will change your mindset around saying “No.”

If you think you’re a Highly Sensitive Person but aren’t sure &/or if you want to understand more about what this means for you, I highly recommend the following books:
