Assertiveness

Assertiveness is an act of lessening the divide between what’s on the inner and outer-life. Because the life that is inside needs to be heard on the outside.

Here’s How:

1. What do I really want? What do I really like?

2. Make sure your Yes on the outside is not a No on the inside.

3. Strength and Warmth.

Here’s Why:

1. Assertiveness is a form of Truth-telling.

2. Be divided no more.

3. The real challenge for people who are highly agreeably and compassionate.

Today, we will start with Anxiety.

Anxiety

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is experiencing failure... in advance.

Here’s How:

1. To recompose...back into your body (listen to the experiential exercise in the audio).

2. Convert Anxiety into Fear.

3. Convert your worrying into planning.

Here’s Why:

1. To Worry = To ‘Strangulate’. Travelling at the speed of light causes anxiety. Learn to travel at the speed of life.

2. Dealing with anxiety can sometimes feel too vague and nebulous, like catching clouds. By converting it into fear, you name it and have a better chance of healing it.

3. Worries goes in circles; planning goes in an intentional direction.For more on Homekit, go to darylchow.com/homekit
