8. Add some good vibes if you still find it hard to say no

It would take time to totally shake off the habit. Instead of saying 'no' right off the bat, it might be a lot easier to lead with good vibes or sandwich the 'no' between 2 good vibes.

(The 'No') but I can’t tonight (the 'No')

(Good vibes 2) I hope you guys have a fun time, it’s suppose to be a beautiful night!” (good vibes)
