People Pleasing Worksheets

Saying yes takes a second. The bill comes later, in evenings you didn't want to give and a resentment you can't quite justify.

There's a decent script for saying no in here: "Thank you for thinking of me, but I won't be able to help with that." The habit runs deeper than the sentence, though, so the worksheets go further.

Six worksheets

1. Setting boundaries, with practice at saying no and at handling the guilt afterwards
2. Finding out what you actually want, after years of adjusting to everyone else
3. The stress and anxiety that come from trying to keep everyone happy
4. Resentment, and the unmet needs underneath it
5. Self-esteem that doesn't depend on other people's approval
6. Relationships where the giving only runs one way

Several of the worksheets suggest professional support, and I'd underline that. If saying no feels frightening rather than awkward, a therapist will get you further than any worksheet.

Also in: the Boundaries and Work-Life Balance Builder, 12 tools, £17, with the Boundary Setting Worksheet, the Assertiveness Guide and the Word Swap Ideas Cards.
