Why is it so hard to say no

Do you have a hard time saying No to people? Do you agree to things and then find yourself resenting the fact that you did? If so...let me just say you are not alone. Is this a good habit though? Saying yes to things or agreeing to things when you really want to say no? You already know the answer – it is not healthy at all, but still we do it all the time. We place the satisfaction of others in front of our own. I don’t know how many sleepless nights I have been through where I keep arguing with myself over the fact that I have a hard time saying no to people, just to keep the peace or as to not start arguments. I have come to the conclusion that it is time to stop; sometimes we just have to put ourselves first.
