Don't give Consent

Don't give Consent

  • Do you let anyone touch you without your consent? Just like it’s in your power to give someone consent over your physical body, it’s in your ability to give others consent over your mind too.

  • Analyze your relationships and interactions and figure out others’ real reasons and true motivations. Does anyone try to play you? Frustrate you? Do you feel manipulated by someone? Do you think they try to control you? But our thoughts are not facts.  So, don’t overanalyze too much and believe everything you think.

  • Stay confident, and don’t let anyone put self-doubt in you. You got the power, so no one can frustrate or overwhelm you if you don’t allow it to  get to your head. No one can harm you if you are mentally prepared  not to let them. It’s your mind, and it’s your mental health. There’s no need to give others consent.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
