For some people saying no is far less comfortable than having a root canal. Never give answer when asked something, postpone your answer give yourself time to think for prior commitments and how your yes may impact you and others involved.
You can say, let me check my calendar and see if that is possible. If anger and resentment surface at the time of the request, allow it to settle down before you give an answer. You dont owe people long detailed or explanations when saying no, always maintain good will and good humor.

Hey,
I think that it is quite good to have boundaries in life, if you do not have any boundaries in life, then the life that you lead will be unruly. It is good to say 'no' when you want to, that maintains boundaries in life. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

it's good to have boundaries in life. one should know his/her limitations in life, with regards to what he/she must and can do. but from time to time, we must go out of our comfort zones. in that manner we give ourselves a chance to grow out of old customs. we explore possibilities and grab opportunities that may not align with our previous experiences.

I wrote a article about that how to say no. How to quit being a people pleaser. I was a people pleaser. I was so stressed out. Unhappy,I let people cheat me out of my time and was badly used. I didn't even no that people pleasing was a issue. All I new was I was miserable.
