Know Thy Triggers.

I say this to my gym members all the time. You have to know what triggers you, if you want to really own the heck out of your life. Knowing your triggers allows you to say yes to the right things and no to the wrong things. Knowing your triggers helps you identify what you want to fight for and what fights are a waste of your time. 

Last week I put up a fight. A couple times. 

I defended my child.

I defended all women.

Then I wrote a manifesto. 

At the end of the week, I came to see there are things I will always fight for. There are people I will always defend, even if I take a beating in the process. 

I know what’s right for ME. 

I hope this episode helps you define what’s right for YOU.

Here’s my manifesto:

Nasty Woman Manifesto

1. Stand for women
2. Stand for children 
3. Stand up to bullies
4. Take the high road
5. Where there is not a path, create one
6. When you listen, truly hear
7. Share
8. Fight for the underdog
9. Don’t back down
10. Work for the greater good
11. Connect
12. Do not fear your enemy
13. Challenge the status quo
14. Empower the powerless 
15. Pay your fair share

Will you do yourself a favor and write your manifesto? You can use any of mine you want to get you started!
