We have all been in at least one situation where our power has been tested. You know you have that person that think they can tell you what to do or how to act. I get it! I've been there several times and it's not fun. Often time making you feel forced to defend yourself and push back.
Once a victim of domestic abuse, I found after "leaving" the situation, instead of being extremely passive about how I allowed myself to be treated, I went to the other end of the spectrum and refused to allow anyone to mishandle me - cause who's gonna check me, Boo?
Well remember the way you do one thing is the way you do all things. I soon learned I could walk around with a "no check" attitude, but that accountability that I needed almost took my life.
In this episode of the BossUp Podcast, I talk about my experience and hopefully give you some insight on why accountability is not just needed but required to live your life to the fullest. You MUST find the balance - no we will not allow anyone to mishandle us and dictate how we live our lives, but we must be willing to deal with the consequences of our choices.
Leave a comment below and let me know what areas of your life have been tested and how you faced them and/or the person that tried to check you.
