Becoming Less Nice and More You for a Bold, Authentic Life
Becoming less nice and more you is about breaking free from the confinement of excessive niceness and social anxiety. It means dropping the unrealistic expectations of never upsetting anyone and constantly striving to please others. The goal is to develop a skillful and authentic communication style where you can smoothly say no, disagree, and express your true thoughts and feelings without causing harm. It's not about becoming rude or insensitive, but about valuing your own wants and needs while respecting others. This shift towards authenticity brings greater fulfillment, better relationships, and a sense of freedom and purpose in life.
