The Reframe (You Already Know How to Say No)

You might think you can’t say no — but the truth is, you’re saying no all the time.

There is a universal principle at play — the law of polarity, the law of opposites:

Front and back. Up and down. In and out. Yes and no.

Every time you say yes, you are automatically saying no to something else.

Saying no isn’t negative.

It’s directional.

Every no is really a yes in disguise.

3-Step Practical Takeaway

1. Pause – “Let me check and come back to you.”

2. Be clear, not detailed – “That doesn’t work for me right now.”

3. Stay calm in your body – breathe, drop the shoulders.

I’m not saying no – not now

“What am I saying yes to if I say No to this.
