Guest Post How to Say NO Without Inflicting Any Pain, Tears or Bloodshed

Ummm...NO?

I’m gonna’ (try) get straight to the point here and skip right through the fact that I’ve been MIA for some time and that this is my first post on this blog in over 2 months.

Why?

Because I have a ton of excuses but none that are worthy enough. So I’m just gonna’ pick up where I left off and start musing here again the way I use to – slowly but surely.

But until I do, I’d love it if you were to head over to our very dear Aunt Gini’s blog – an AdAge Power 150 site might I add – to read my latest guest post, “5 Effective Ways to Say NO” or as I like to call it, “How to Say NO Without Inflicting Any Pain, Tears or Bloodshed”. Needless to say that the first title was a better fit for the mighty Spin Sucks lol icon wink How to Say NO Without Inflicting Any Pain, Tears or Bloodshed .

It doesn’t really take a brain surgeon to figure out what the post is about but I guarantee that it won’t be the usual, bland, “how to” type of post. There’s definitely a little touch of Griddy in there – 1000 plus words worth actually icon wink How to Say NO Without Inflicting Any Pain, Tears or Bloodshed ! Please don’t make that face or freak out, I made it pretty easy and entertaining to read with some pretty realistic examples. OH yeah, I also poked a little fun at Gini and Lisa – but all in the name of humor and friendship.

So if you’ve ever been in a situation where you knew you had to say no but said yes anyways – this read is for you. If you’ve ever wondered how to say no in a polite but firm and friendly manner – this is the read for you. Basically – if you’re alive and kicking…say it with me….THIS IS THE READ FOR YOU!

Are you still here? Because you know I could go on…but seriously…wouldn’t you rather go over there and join the conversation instead? Yeah, I thought so!

I’ll meet you in the comments…

PS – for the second time in this blog’s history, I’ve closed the comments section so that you can share all you want where the original post is…at Gini’s fabulous house.

Cheers

     It is always not easy to say “no” to the people.But sometimes it is better to say “no” if you are not in the condition of helping others.For E;g-If you are on your bicycle and you are not able to take anyone on your  bicycle then say no to him directly..

    Thanks for such awesome post on a hot topic. I think we can do it,if someone not satisfied with things that other person did for him then he/she can directly convey the NO message for future.
    You can do it only then when you have solid reason for.

    No as a word or as state when it comes to human relations is just a part of every day living…cant live with it or without it, it will pop up at least once a day in one`s life via thinking or otherwise. Human nature tends to deny itself.

    Hey Ingrid,

    If the cupcake diet post isn’t right for your site, send that person over to me.

    I don’t like saying no though which is part of why I’d accept the post. The other part would be because I LOVE me some cupcakes. Hahaha! But because I can be a wuss sometimes when it comes to the n-word, I’m gonna scoot my ass on over to your guest post right, about, now.

    I am convinced that this is the read for me. I have the hardest time saying “no” because I just feel bad about the situation. Some times I would rather take the blame for something instead of hurting a friend by saying no. I can’t wait to see read the article and find out how I can learn to say “no” in the situations that I need to.
