The Importance of Advocating for Your Needs

Expressing personal desires and needs is crucial for self-worth. When individuals fail to vocalize what they want, they inadvertently train themselves to believe their needs are unimportant. Open communication with loved ones, children, or bosses reinforces the notion that one's desires matter. This practice not only fosters healthier personal and professional relationships but also builds internal validation and self-confidence.
