How to Say No Without Being Unkind | The Wusch Method

You accept something you don't want. You stay quiet to avoid an argument. Later, you wish you'd said something. How can you be kind to someone else and still respect your own wishes? This video explores three everyday situations: someone brings back rubbish that belongs to you, new furniture arrives while the old furniture stays, and someone offers you a gift you don't need. Through these examples, I introduce Wusch — a reminder to notice what's happening and do something about it. The English version uses five words: W — Watch: Notice what's actually happening. U — Understand: Work out which part is yours and which belongs to someone else. S — Sort: Decide what belongs where. C — Check: Is action needed? What's your part? What can you do now? H — Handle it: Say the words, make the request, or have the conversation. You can appreciate a kind intention and still say: “Thank you. But I don't need this.” 🌿 MY COURSE: BACK TO YOURSELF The original course title is “Zurück zu dir.” Please note: the course is currently available in German. If you often know what you want but keep ignoring your own wishes, the course offers explanations, examples and exercises to explore your everyday reactions. You look at the expectations that influence you, what matters to you, and how you react under pressure. As you work with the material, you can practise noticing automatic responses and try doing things differently.
