You know, I still catch myself doing this!
Permission, permission, permission. Always asking and never giving it to myself.
I think a lot of people live on the back foot, always waiting, making sure they’re not getting in the way, not wanting to bother people, not (in a more old-fashioned sounding way) want to put oneself forward.
Yeah, bullshit.
“Let me….”
“Would you mind….?”
“Is that all right if……..?”
Just like I am shifting from referring to myself as “you” and embracing “I”, I am also actively training myself to speak more confidently.
SO!…..
“Would it be all right if I explained what I do?” becomes “I would love to share with you what I’m working on.” See what I mean?
The mere idea of this shift actually makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Will they think I’m rude?
Does it make me sound arrogant or an arsehole?
Posture.
And poise too. My focus is a process of becoming, growing into my big man shoes so to speak, actually, growing my big man cock and balls.
Life is not meant to be lively quietly and timidly.
No, life is meant to be lived out loud, outdoors, in the real world.
Practice your perfect self. It’s already there, give yourself permission to be free.
