Saying NO is like casting a circle of protection around what is most true, claiming it as yours. 

NO.
It was not meant to be.
NO.
I won’t apologize for my tears.
NO.
It will not be your timetable; it will be mine.
NO.
I am not healed.
NO.
I am not strong.
NO.
Nor am I weak.
NO.
I will not be invalidated.
