How To Speak Up For Yourself - Lisa Nichols

——

Today I want to answer the question: What are the first steps to speaking up for myself?

One of the first steps to speaking up for yourself is to speak to yourself first. What I am giving you in today's lesson is the mirror exercise. When you start to speak to yourself and love yourself. Then naturally you will begin to speak up for yourself.

I love hearing from you! Let me know in the comments below what lesson you learned during this episode. Did you have a #BOL Breakthrough Out Loud? I can't wait to hear from you!

I’m proud that I removed myself from the narcissistic abuse that I was receiving from my own mother every single day. Wow this always breaks me down because I feel so alone as though I’m the only one in this predicament, if there’s anyone out there who’s been in the same predicament, pls say hello 👋🏾❤️🙏🏾

When you said procrastination is putting yourself last, that connected. I never put myself first, I'm lucky if I even make the list. That's has to change. I think it's sucking the life out of me.

I’m proud that I’ve gotten out of bed since my son died. I’m committed to finding myself, because I’m truly lost in my pain.

Starting these new habits now, Current feelings: I feel like I have a muzzle that I wear at work, I can't help but let people walk all over me, I want to find my voice, heal my childhood traumas, I want to own my voice, speak with intention, speak smoothy, speak fearlessly, my voice does matter. It matters in my home, around my family, at work, at school and in public. My voice deserves to be heard.

See you in One Month <3

I am proud of stepping out of my comfort zone. And getting out there

[Abawuah]

Today I’ll treat myself as good as I treat everyone else! Wow wow that gave me yesterday a good friend of mine mentioned how I’m so caring and affectionate towards everyone... but it hit me that the only person who doesn’t receive that treatment from me is ME. I’m working towards breaking the cycle and treating myself the same way I treat others!!! Thank you Lisa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I got deeply emotional when Lisa got to 'self forgiveness'... I was literally crying... a lot of self unforgiveness I've pushed under the carpet... but going forward, no more... Thank you Lisa

The mirror exercise was and is the hardest thing I've ever done and am still doing. It made me confront demons within me that I've hid or thought never existed, or maybe i just hid them within my subconsciousness. I wake and listen to at least one of your couches to help me start my day, I also listen to one to put me to sleep. Thank you for helping me take this first step in the right direction. I started to check my ego now, it belongs in the trunk, not the back seat. I'm ready for a new version of myself, I'm ready to have a better version of myself. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Lisa.

Im proud of myself for finally taking action about this problem that has been affecting my whole life. I’m proud for even just commenting and coming out of the shadows, admitting to myself that I need help and cannot always rely on myself for everything

Miss Lisa, thank you for empowering me to become my own rescue, because I did indeed rescue myself about 8 months ago when I left a terrible job environment and placed myself into a better environment. I was so down and low, I thought I had to stay there forever, because I'm 55. I finally woke up, and I completely reinvented my resume and pursued new job opportunities with fervor. I was blessed with multiple opportunities and I was able to choose the one that resonated with me. I negotiated myself a big fat raise, even though my voice cracked and my knees were shaking. Your words and warmth zinged through me as I stood my ground and said what I was worth. How beautiful when they met my price. It's more than I've ever made in my life, and I am sharing it with my whole family. Miss Lisa, you are a true treasure to so many, and I am so grateful that your videos have come into my life. You helped me find the courage within myself to become my own rescue. I can never thank you enough. Blessings to you and the people you love Miss Lisa!

I'm proud of telling my ex that I would not tolerate being called names or being minimized. I forgive myself for feeling helpless and powerless when opposition comes. Today, I will TRUST that God has forgiven me, loves me, and has a greater plan for my life! Thank you LISA!!!

I decided to do this exercise today ( 7/17/2019) it brought tears to my eyes because I never been proud of myself. It took me a while to find what I’m proud of and man, did it tear me apart. I know this I the first step and I’m looking forward to the rest of this journey as I continue to add to my list. Thank you Lisa.
