Saying No
Right now we are going to create a theoretical scenerio. In this scenerio you are standing outside of your local ice cream parlor when a strange person approaches you and says "what is the hardest thing you have ever had to do?" Most likely if this were real your answer would be something like "giving up my phone for a week" or "having to let go of a loved one." Sure, those are two hard situations, (especially the phone one😂) but I can tell you that the hardest thing you have ever had to do is what may seem incredibly simple: saying no. Now your probably thinking "I don't mind saying no to eating my vegetables, or to doing the dishes". But what about using that word to control yourself? I have O.C.D, and I'm sure a lot of you guys do to. From my experience the hardest thing ever is saying no to myself when I am about to do some stupid, worthless ritual. Or saying no to myself when my social anxiety gets a hold of me and tells me everyone...
