- 4:41nervous
- 4:41system
- 4:42panics
- 4:42every
- 4:43time
- 4:43someone
- 4:43is
- 4:43uncomfortable,
- 4:45you
- 4:45will
- 4:45shrink
- 4:46every
- 4:47time.
- 4:48You
- 4:48cannot
- 4:49expand
- 4:50while

- 4:52Okay,
- 4:52I
- 4:52say

- 4:59you.
- 4:59You
- 4:59have
- 5:00to
- 5:00pick
- 5:00one.
- 5:01Because
- 5:01confidence
- 5:02will
- 5:02cost
- 5:02you
- 5:02universal
- 5:03approval.
- 5:04And
- 5:04that's
- 5:04okay.
- 5:05Because
- 5:06the
- 5:06right
- 5:06people,
- 5:07they
- 5:07don't
- 5:07require
- 5:08you
- 5:08to
- 5:08shrink
- 5:08to
- 5:09belong.
- 5:09The
- 5:10wrong
- 5:10people
- 5:11will
- 5:11call
- 5:11your
- 5:12boundaries,
- 5:12attitudes,
- 5:13but
- 5:14let
- 5:14them.
- 5:17Now,
- 5:17I
- 5:17want
- 5:17you
- 5:17to
- 5:17think
- 5:17about
- 5:18something.
- 5:19What's
- 5:19one
- 5:19situation
- 5:20where
- 5:20you've
- 5:20said
- 5:21yes,
- 5:21but
- 5:21your
- 5:21body
- 5:22said
- 5:22no?
- 5:23Maybe
- 5:24it
- 5:24was
- 5:24a
- 5:24favor.
- 5:26Maybe
- 5:26it
- 5:26was
- 5:26staying
- 5:27late.
- 5:28Maybe
- 5:28it
- 5:28was
- 5:29tolerating
- 5:29a
- 5:30comment.
- 5:31Maybe
- 5:31it
- 5:32was
- 5:32agreeing
- 5:32to
- 5:32something
- 5:33that
- 5:33drained
- 5:33you.
- 5:35Now
- 5:35ask
- 5:36yourself,
- 5:36why
- 5:37did
- 5:37I
- 5:37say
- 5:37yes?
- 5:38Was
- 5:39it
- 5:39generosity?
- 5:40Or
- 5:40was
- 5:40it
- 5:41fear?
- 5:42No
- 5:42judgment,
- 5:43just
- 5:44awareness.
- 5:45Because
- 5:45awareness
- 5:46is
- 5:46power.
- 5:49So
- 5:50in
- 5:50order
- 5:50to
- 5:50protect
- 5:51your
- 5:51confidence,
- 5:52sometimes
- 5:52there's
- 5:52a
- 5:53shift
- 5:53that's
- 5:53needed.
- 5:54Shifting
- 5:54out
- 5:55of
- 5:55people
- 5:55pleasing
- 5:55doesn't
- 5:56mean
- 5:56that
- 5:56you're
- 5:57becoming
- 5:57rude.
- 5:58It
- 5:58means
- 5:58becoming
- 5:59honest.
- 6:00It
- 6:00means
- 6:01pausing
- 6:01before
- 6:02you
- 6:02automatically
- 6:03say
- 6:03yes.
- 6:04Letting
- 6:05silence
- 6:05exist.
- 6:07Not
- 6:07filling
- 6:07that
- 6:08awkward
- 6:08space,
- 6:09not
- 6:10chasing
- 6:10reassurance
- 6:11and
- 6:11not
- 6:12fixing
- 6:12someone
- 6:12else's
- 6:13mood.
- 6:14It
- 6:14means
- 6:15regulating
- 6:15your
- 6:16nervous
- 6:16system
- 6:17instead
- 6:17of
- 6:17regulating
- 6:18everybody
- 6:18else's
- 6:19emotions.
- 6:20That's
- 6:20power.
- 6:21And
- 6:21it's
- 6:22gonna
- 6:22feel
- 6:22uncomfortable
- 6:23at
- 6:23first
- 6:23because

- 6:24body
- 6:24is
- 6:24used
- 6:25to
- 6:25quick
- 6:25fixes,
- 6:26of
- 6:26smoothing
- 6:27things
- 6:27over.
- 6:28But
- 6:28discomfort
- 6:29doesn't
- 6:30equal
- 6:30danger.
- 6:31And
- 6:31you
- 6:31just
- 6:32have
- 6:32to
- 6:32teach
- 6:32your
- 6:32body
- 6:32that.
- 6:34And
- 6:35let
