Using my voice

So there are many occasions where I have typically not spoken up for myself either in defense, or to say I don't want to do something and it really bit me in the butt.  I have been really verbalizing my boundaries, speaking up when someone does/says something that hurts or that I am not willing to participate in or hear about me anymore, or recently with work was yelled at by a client and stood up for myself and my boss said it was appropriate the way I handled it.  So I am feeling this a great foundation I am finding within myself.  I have also been using the book and workbook for "Best Year of your Life" and finding some good progress in certain areas.....definitely still need some exercise but I have been accomplishing more exercise since I have started so I am feeling good about that as well....
All in all I am achieving progress, may not be perfected....but I feel like it is really promising how far I have come int he last year ;)
