Learn to say "No."

If you've always been the one who says yes, your friends and family may have learned to treat you as an unpaid servant.

And naturally, if you've been getting that treatment, you probably aren't very happy. In fact, you may even resent the people you really want to love, appreciate, and enjoy.

The solution is to start taking care of yourself by learning to say "No."

• Instead of serving on every committee – serve only on those that interest you.
• Instead of cooking holiday dinners for the entire extended family, offer to host the event as long as they bring the food.
• Instead of providing a "Hotel with meals and maid service" when friends or family come to town, help them find a good hotel.

Does that sound too difficult? Would you be afraid of rejection and disapproval?

 If you've been unable to say "NO" to any and every request; and if the thought of saying "No" fills you with apprehension, you're probably in need of the Flower Essence called Centaury.

Centaury will help get your energies back in balance and allow you to be free of those fears.

Happily, the end result will not be rejection, but a new respect from friends and family when they realize that you do know how to take care of yourself as well as them.
