165. Use Your Words
Manage episode 390526841 series 2818488
There’s this romanticized idea that other people should just know what we want and read our minds. We think that’s better in some way than making direct requests, negotiating for more of what we want, or setting and honoring boundaries. However, it is not other people’s jobs to mind-read. And refusing to use your words is creating a ton of unnecessary suffering.
So what do you want that you’re absolutely committed to not asking for, and why? Join me this week to hear how refusing to use your words gets you into trouble, what happens when you build this skill, and how to begin openly communicating with the people in your life.
