I have been recently getting more taste to be brave lately: My last date, yesterday evening did not go as I expected as there were so many red flags. (He talked about politics, talked more than I, tried to control what I chose on the menu, criticized the area where I live in in terms of religion and buildings, criticized my phone to be too old and that I need to buy a new version because it's running out of storage). The hardest thing to me is to send a message to say that I am not interested because I am afraid sometimes to have an abusive response, but I had to do it. I am not going to continue blindly and being the painter 🖌️that says all is well, until I get into the relationship and I can no more. Hence, I sent him a text, and I archived the conversation because I was so afraid to see his response and it would waste my day in case of abusive response. Three hours later, I decided to look at his response and was surprised how positive it was and healing because now it gives me the courage to continue dating even more without being afraid to turn the man down. One of the sentences he said in his response, was particularly healing to me because he said: "I would have loved to continue dating you, but it is how you feel it" It is how I feel it 🙂💗 So, in brief, it helps me to continue sending messages like this if I didn't feel comfortable on a date without being afraid getting an abusive/inappropriate response. PS: Another win is that I also sent for the third time an email to my manager asking for a raise even though she kept ignoring my emails, she finally responded and said she will give me an answer in a few days.

I have just set a clear boundary over the phone while talking with a customer from my job, who was clearly disrespectful. It was quick. Usually I take a deep breath or just freeze. However, since I just saw one of this mastermind's recording "You belong to yourself first"; I took inspiration from it and was quick to set the boundary, without waiting even a second. I said I will disconnect the call because of what he just have said. I imposed myself without letting him continue to talk since it was unacceptable. I feel that I am unlearning to please people and relearning to own this life and deserving only good things. While we were taught to be nice and were rewarded for it, now we are shown it is unacceptable to give our power away. Thus, I am feeling I am rewriring my brain to learn the opposite of what I always knew about: please people. Now, this mastermind is a safe space to be rewarded to just stand for ourselves even if sometimes society might think it is ridiculous to do so.
