How to Decline an Invite From a Strong Personality (With Grace)

Happy Tuesday!

Have you ever gotten repeated invitations from a friend or acquaintance and wanted to decline but didn’t have the words?

It can feel even harder when the person is what I call a “strong personality” and you may feel compelled to say yes, when you really want to say no.

Today, I’m taking your direct questions from the community and here’s the situation:

Q: “Diana, I have a friend who I met years ago at a business event. She keeps asking me to hang out in person, but I just don’t feel like it. It’s nothing personal against her, but I just have other priorities and I’m being super intentional where I spend my energy this year. I just keep saying, “it’s not the right time for me,” but she’s a strong personality and keeps pushing me to know why and proposes another date or question. I don’t want to be rude, and I don’t want to burn bridges but I don’t really know what to say so she “gets” it. Help!

A few things come to share with you!

1. Clarity is kindness. Q: What is it that you do want out of this relationship? Do you want to keep this person in your life but in a different capacity? Do you really want to not have any ties because it just doesn’t feel good or make sense? Be honest with yourself and allow all the feelings that arise to come up. That will inform how you eventually respond.

2. Ask yourself this: If the situation was reversed, how do you think they would act? This is more about getting curious. Chances are high that with a strong personality, if they didn’t want to hang out with you (or they wanted you to stop communicating), it would be very, very clear and there probably wouldn’t be a lot of wiggle room. So, ask yourself, what are you afraid of (if anything) could happen or how they would react if you were just really honest about what you wanted?

3. Once you know what you really want, and you’ve allowed the feelings and fears to surface and get to neutral, then you are ready to communicate neutrally and clearly.

Here are some potential responses (feel free to adapt/edit using your tone and what you want out of the relationship!): 

  • Brutal, but clear approach: Hey there-I appreciate you reaching out to hang out, but to be honest, I don’t have the bandwidth for that. If that changes in the future, I will let you know. Thank you for understanding and respecting that.
  • If you’ve identified you do not want a friendship but really want to help each other out in another capacity based on the event you attended: “Hi (x)-I am so glad we met the XYZ event years ago. If there is something specific I can support you with as far as business goes, feel free to email me and I will respond when I can. My calendar is super full right now for in person committments.”
  • If you do want to build/maintain friendship but just really don’t have the time or desire to hang out right now: Hi X, I really appreciate you consistently reaching out to connect with me. I realize my responses may have been a bit unclear-I truly value our connection and the truth is, right now my energetic capacity to hang out with friends in person is pretty low. It’s not personal-I just have other competing priorities at the moment. I am, however, available (if you really are!) to (fill in the blank-speak on the phone, text, etc). I understand if that doesn’t work for you, but I wanted to be honest and let you know where I’m at!
    The more you can practice being clear, getting to emotional neutral and communicating from that space, the easier it will be to deal with a strong personality (or any personality) and decline or accept invitations!

My Fave Way to Clear Negative Vibes Fast!

Happy Tuesday!

One of the things I get asked a lot is how to clear negative energy.

Whether it’s just getting yourself out of a weird funk or releasing stuff you may have unconsciously taken on from that person at the grocery store, etc, having something simple and effective to do is key!

And to position yourself this year for high-quality relationships, massive abundance and more joy, having this tool in your back pocket is invaluable.

I use this tool a lot and if you’re an empath and particularly sensitive to other energies, you’re going to love this.

Watch below to learn it!

Have a great week and if you are ready to 10X your energy this year, consider booking a gold treatment! Check it out here.

Hello From Cali + Your Jan 2024 Reading!

Happy Happy 2024!

We all made it! January is such a beautiful month and in many ways, feels like a quiet whisper.

How was your last week of 2023? I’ve been enjoying time with my husband’s family in California and being away from our home and walking among the trees and totally different landscape than the desert has been so rejuvenating for my soul.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling this strong desire to just nest, cocoon and embrace winter’s energetics, which are about rest, gentle reconstruction internally and externally and reflection on what is coming up next.

Basically the opposite of the societal conditioning of go, go, go, achieve, strive, hit those New Year’s resolutions ASAP! (I got tired just typing that!)

As I write this, I am in my comfy clothes, messy hair and I woke up late for me-slept over 10 hours! It felt…very luxurious and very Goddess!

I feel like going old-school today and simply writing to you + channeling the messages I hear as I pull oracle cards for all of you for the month. I may do a video next week, but this week you get it in writing! 🙂

Oracle messages were one of the first ways that I connected with my intuition and if you are visual, I find they can often help the logical mind to step aside and give the subconscious and the wise voice inside a chance to interpret what’s what and the truths that want to be unearthed.

So….without further ado. Here you go! I encourage you to look at the beautiful cards and ask yourself too, “What else could this card mean for me right now?” Write down any insights you get!

The cards are from Colette Baron Reid’s “Oracle of the 7 Energies” if you’d like to check it out.

Your January 2024 message: Week by Week

Message 1 : In Perfect Harmony. This first week of January has sweet vibes, and your imagination may feel like it’s working overtime. You may have lots of creative ideas but you aren’t yet sure how they all fit together quite yet. But that’s okay. The “11” suggests that you are going to be meeting people along your path this year that will help you fulfill your most important goals and growth. You aren’t doing it alone, so stop worrying! This also is a card that suggests and reminds you of the importance of having fun and doing things for the sake of joyfulness, vs having an attachment to a particular outcome.

Message 2: Shining Through. The second week of January is about putting yourself out there. If you’re single, it’s a great week to make a decision about putting yourself on a new dating app, revamping your pictures or letting people know in your inner circle the type of person you would love to meet. For couples or for a wider lens take, it’s about doing things that help you feel seen and confident! No more hiding. Also, if you didn’t listen to your inner nudges to declutter those clothes that make you feel like anything less than a million bucks, it may be time to let them go!

Message 3: Birds of a Feather. The third week of January is about community. Have you been wanting to make new friends? This is a great time to circulate yourself, take some risks and make some calls. Your intuition is spot on, so if something seems off it probably is. And life can sometimes feel like a numbers game. If you put yourself out there and it doesn’t seem to go anywhere, that’s okay. There will be something else and you never know who you could meet to help you in another area of your life without even realizing it. Be open to giving and receiving love without guarantees. Notice what comes back to you!

Message 4: Close Encounters. The fourth and fifth week of January is about freedom. Liberating yourself from situations, relationships and ways of thinking that didn’t really work for you this month. Taking stock of where you’ve given your power away and also celebrating the new people that have come into your world and the new attitude and beliefs that are becoming more and more your new norm. You are a beautiful butterfly and you cannot rush your transformation. So if you find yourself falling into old patterns of stinkin thinking, know that you are free to open the door to that self-imposed cage anytime you want and fly out and explore a new vista!

Q: What is one of your intentions for yourself for this month? Hit reply and share if you feel guided!

And if you are ready to attract LOVE and more self-confidence than you know what to do with, I have a handful of spots open for 1:1 private spiritual and relationship coaching. I’d love to discuss your goals and how I can help. Go here to get on my calendar for a complimentary Clarity Consult if you’re ready and willing to receive support!

Much love and happy New Year!
