Your Safety is More Important Than Their Feelings

​You should never worry about hurting someone's feelings if you feel that your safety is at risk. It would be much better to unintentionally offend someone by telling them to back off or get away, only to find out later that their intentions were completely innocent than it would be to go along with someone's seemingly innocent request because you didn't want to hurt their feelings, only to find yourself in a bad situation. It’s ok to let people know what your boundaries are. It makes it clear to others what you will and won’t allow into your life. You will get more respect from people when you set and maintain clear boundaries.

Things to say:                                  Things NOT to say:
Back Off!                                          ...Or else!
Stop!                                                  Please...
Leave Now!                                     Sarcastic remarks
Go Away!                                         Cursing or foul language
I can’t help you!                             Long sentences using big words
What do you want?                       Nothing
 

Learn to Trust Your Intuition

We all had gut feelings about a person, place or event that we should have listened to, but didn't. Fortunately, most of these incidents were probably not life threatening. Our intuition is always right in at least 2 important ways:

1. It is always in response to something (consciously or subconsciously)
2. It always has your best interest at heart.

 
If you ever find yourself saying, “I probably shouldn’t” … Don’t
 
In our classes, we teach you where your “Uh oh” button lives (physically) on your body. Once you know that you can pay attention to it and when it goes off. Do you know where yours lives on your body? Can you think of a time when it went off, didn't seem logical, but you were absolutely correct?
 
Listening to your intuition (your “uh oh” button) seems so simple, but it is not always easy. It means that you might have to leave early from a concert, miss a party (because the guy who asked you to go gave you a funny feeling), or refuse a person’s help when it would have been convenient to accept it, etc.
 
These words have probably saved more people from harm than any others:
 
“If in doubt …get out!”

We want to encourage you to come in and take a class some time. There is a whole lot more to this and we think it's some of the most important stuff you can learn.
