This is not always easy to do. In fact it’s extremely difficult! Sometimes it feels like standing up for yourself is the opposite of being kind or pleasant. You don’t want to rock the boat, or cause trouble, so you just keep quiet. And that’s ok! It’s great to be agreeable. But some instances call for you to stand up for yourself, because after all, sometimes the only one looking out for you is YOU! So if you need to stand up for yourself, do it!! Be confident, and do it with kindness and respect! πππππ€ Art by Jason Naylor
