NOT CARING WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU – That’s what this week’s challenge is all about. How to be yourself. And Oh – it’s a tough one! But when we learn how to not letting other people’s opinions impact our behaviour and actions, boy is that a good life. But it’s not easy, and the cost might be high. But the price is worth it. Read my text from last week on this topic:
The challenge is roughly the same as last week:
Every day, Monday through Friday, put in a serious effort to go into every situation as your real self. Voice your opinions and stand by your values and believes. Being silent could be just as much of a statement as agreeing with something you don’t agree with.
- Take at least one action each day were you push yourself and show who you really are in a social context. Then very briefly write this down and how you felt about it. This gives us the focus of accomplishing one thing daily, and the act of writing it down makes it concrete! Then in the end of the week, if you’d like, share it in the live weekly evaluation video. Friday Swedish time, lunch time – 12.00
