The Struggle Of Standing Up For Yourself | Ep 262
Why is it so hard for some people to stand up for themselves?
In this episode I discuss three primary reasons why as well as some solutions that you could implement to overcome them.
1: Low self-worth - if you don’t believe you deserve to be treated well/get what you need from life, then you will fail to act.
2: Unclear goal or direction in life - if you don’t know where you are heading/what you value, you won’t know what to push for and what to avoid.
3: Unable to hold space for their response - standing up for yourself will put people out, if you cannot sit with the negative feelings, moods, emotions, or responses that arise you will continue to give ground in every interaction until you discover that your life is not at all the way you want or need it to be.
I offer guidance for each issue as well as way to practice meditation that combines the felt sense of self with positive visualization, inner work, and mindfulness that will help you stand up for yourself.
