Try this little exercise in owning who you are. Next time you get invited to do something socially that you’d really rather not do, just say, “No thank you.” Do it kindly, but don’t offer explanations or excuses. If you’re asked why you won’t participate, just say, “It doesn’t work for me.” That’s it. You’re entitled to choose your activities. Doing this sets a kind boundary with others and signals to your subconscious mind that you are in charge of your own life. And that’s the way…

It should be.
