No, Thank You. I Choose Me.

I used to say yes to everything.

Yes to extra work.

Yes to events I didn’t want to go to.

Yes to people who drained me.

And every time I said yes to them...I was saying no to myself.

Until Reiki taught me something life-changing.

Your energy is sacred.

It’s not unlimited.

And not everyone deserves a piece of it.

In Reiki, we believe in energy flow.

When it’s flowing well—you feel good.

When it’s blocked—you feel tired, heavy, anxious.

You know what causes energy blockages?

Guilt.

Resentment.

Overcommitting.

All of that comes from being afraid to say NO.

But here’s the truth:

Saying NO is not mean.

It’s not selfish.

It’s necessary.

When you say no, you are choosing yourself.

You are protecting your peace.

You are making space for what really matters.

And here’s how to do it:

✅ Pause.

✅ Breathe.

✅ Ask yourself: “Does this feel aligned with my truth?”

✅ If not, say no—with love.

Not with anger.

Not with drama.

With calm, grounded energy.

“I can’t commit right now.”“Thank you, but I’ll have to pass.”“I need time for myself.”

Simple. Honest. Powerful.

The first time I said no without explaining, I was terrified.

But after? I felt... free.

My body felt lighter.

My energy felt clearer.

And the people who respected me?

Respected me even more.

This is what I teach in Reiki.

Your body knows.

Your energy knows.

You just have to listen.

Saying NO is not a rejection of others.

It’s a YES to yourself.

To your healing.

To your truth.

To your joy.

So if you’ve been afraid to say no—Take this as your sign.

You are allowed to protect your peace.

You are allowed to rest.

You are allowed to say:“No, thank you. I choose me.”

Because that…Is the real healing.

I choose me.
