Time Out

When people ask you to do something or your opinion on something it is okay to say Time Out and take time to consider your answer. Put on the spot it can be easy for people that want to please to just say yes, or agree to something they don't really want. Allowing yourself to put some time and space between the question and the answer can help. We are allowed to take our time.

Having a couple of phrases, that feel okay to you to say, ready for such an occasion helps as often put on the spot we can feel dysregulated and it becomes difficult to think. Maybe:
"You're important to me so I want to take time to consider your question"
"I'll take some time to think about it and let you know in an hour or so"
"I'm not sure how much I want to share, I'd like to revisit this later when I've had time to think about it".
