It was hugely powerful. I suggest a course called The Landmark Forum, by the way, to anyone who has not done it. Talk about something different. It rocks yor world.

The last post however, seems more like copy for a David Letterman show. It’s a great recipe for adding some spice in life and may be quite helpful for someone dealing with depression.

This may go overboard though, which is why I wrote the first tip. I admit that the tip is subjective; it's more suitable for people who are in similar condition as mine. Your situation is different because the default answer is "yes", and I agree with you that in such condition it's more important (and more productive) to learn to say "no". Douglas,

It is just the first one that I have problems with. In my work I find that there are too many people who will always say 'yes' to any request, whether they can do it or not! Not surprisingly this adds to their stress levels. Quite often in reality they have neither the time nor the skills to do what has been asked of them. It seems that people are worried about saying 'no' because they fel they are saying 'no' to the person, when in reality they are saying 'no' to the request. Equally, there are people who 'manage' or 'manipulate' people because they know they will not say 'no' to them. It is really the second part of your first tip which I feel is more important .. say 'no' when it is appropriate. There are some excellent tips here.
