This month\u2019s theme is Reflections and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/Reflect\xa0\xa0This is a different episode.\xa0It started as an Actionable Tip for anyone who is seeing a counsellor or therapist, but after some reflection (the theme for this month), I decided to go more audio blog style.\nI describe my experiences presenting at a local transition home, where some of the residents were feeling the need to advocate for themselves.\xa0I also share a story of a time when I first started out as a clinical counsellor, when I didn't advocate for myself.\nWe have many reasons and excuses for not speaking up for ourselves.\xa0But I hope this episode inspires us all to speak up, draw some lines and advocate for ourselves.\nThe sister episode to this one is Episode 184 Saying No and Being Overly Responsible\n\xa0\nSPONSOR SPOTLIGHT\nThanks for supporting our sponsors!\xa0This helps keep Affirmation Pod free for you to listen to whenever you need it.\nGet your promo codes at AffirmationPod.com/Sponsors\n\xa0\nWant More Episodes Like this One?\nEpisode 151 Setting Boundaries\nEpisode 146 Not Who I Used to Be\nEpisode 105 Managing Regret Mode\n\n\xa0\nLISTENER LOVE \U0001f64f\U0001f3fb\n"If you\u2019re struggling creating your own affirmations as part of your daily practice, I highly recommend Josie Ong\u2019s podcast.
