Explaining takes your power and gives it to the other person. The best decisions come when we listen to how we feel and our gut instinct. But those sources aren’t usually well received in an explanation, so we make up an explanation the other person can relate to.

It’s hard to overcome the tendency to explain, but it can be done with focus and intention. Awareness is the key. To help you become more aware, here are 20 things you don’t owe anyone an explanation for.


1.You don’t owe anyone a justification for your values and your priorities.

2.You don’t owe anyone a yes when you want to say no.

3.You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your relationships, whether lovers or friends.
