LOVE THIS! Thank you Sara, this is very timely for me! I have always found asking quite difficult, but I’ve come to understand that this difficulty is often a projection of my own (lack of) boundaries. My reluctance to ask for something often stems unconsciously from not wanting to put the other person in the same discomfort *I* might feel about saying no. (!!) As I become more comfortable saying ‘no' or ‘yes' according to how I really feel, I’ve found I’m more comfortable asking of others, too. So now I'm quite happy to hear a ‘no’, even if it’s disappointing! I also love the reminder to have courage and ask big. I am going to refer to this lovely advice again. Thank you!! xx
I have been through all this too Kim - hard relate! And I have to use these reminders myself, but all the asking definitely builds the courage muscle! I find myself being braver nowadays when it comes to reaching out, sometimes surprising myself in the process. Good luck with your asks! X
