HAPPY FRIDAY ✨
When you feel unstoppable, excited about life, happy, strong, insert ANY boss adjective you will quickly find yourself surrounded by other badass bosses who are just killing it at life. You will however, unfortunately also become the primary target for those haters who spew unhappiness. TRUE freaking story of my life. The only thing misery loves more than company is spreading it.
Remember though: You can never rise to the top when you’re caught up with the downers at the bottom.
You can be a Boss & Not A B*tch
HOW? These 6 ways 😇
1. CONFIDENCE
You don’t need to be the prettiest, smartest or wittiest person in the room, but if you act confident, you’ll be perceived as embodying all three. That kind of power sure as hell intimidates the insecure. Don’t let people like that stop you from flashing your full wattage.
2. SAYING HOW YOU FEEL
Contrary to the believers of “no response is the best response,” being upfront about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s sidestepping the passive aggressive bullsh*t. Saying what’s on your mind is not only liberating, but also advances you closer to your goals. Don’t hold back.
3. COMMITTING TO YOURSELF
Whether it means carving out time in the day exclusively for you, adopting a healthy lifestyle or following through on a goal, putting yourself first in order to do it is completely acceptable. You can’t be afraid to pursue what fulfills you, even if others don’t share in your vision. Knowing that you can entrust yourself to accomplish what needs to be done is a huge form of empowerment. Scare people with it.
4. HONESTY
As long as it’s delivered kindly and without judgment, the people who hate on you for being honest are those that cannot accept the truth. No one benefits from being fake.
5. SPEAKING OUT AGAINST INJUSTICES
It’s not wrong to stick up for yourself or others when you witness a maltreatment; it’s wrong not to. Find your voice and don’t be scared to use it or else no one will ever take the time to listen.
6. PRACTICING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Taking care of yourself through exercise, proper diet and hygiene is something to proud of. Between shaving, grooming, moisturizing, exfoliating, eating, sleeping, brushing, waxing, tweezing, running, stretching, bending and snapping - if you are diligent enough to complete at least one to the best of your ability, well then you go, girlfriend! Maintain the momentum and feel friggin good girl!
When you’re a boss, you’re your own person and not following the crowd, you’re going to encounter haters, trolls, downers and that kind of negativity in your life. But remember that pleasing the naysayers won’t bring you closer to pleasing yourself. Haters are gonna hate, but it’s much more rewarding to love.
