Deep dives
Understanding Defiance
Defiance is often misconstrued as a negative trait, but it plays a crucial role in personal authenticity and joy. Many individuals struggle to say no due to years of conditioning that equates compliance with being good and defiance with being bad. This socialization can start in childhood, where the emphasis is placed on obedience rather than asserting one's own needs and values. Embracing defiance, instead of viewing it as rebellion, empowers individuals to pursue their goals and beliefs more authentically.
