Transcript

10 out of 10 toxic behaviors that every woman should do and yes, I said should. Make sure to send this to a friend and save this so that you can both become a woman that you respect. Number one is ruthless prioritization of your time. When you start to realize just how much your time is actually worth, people will start respecting you a lot more. You will gain more self confidence and you will be more likely to succeed and achieve everything you've ever wanted. Number two is emotional detachment. You can definitely care about someone deeply, but you have to learn how to do that without letting their mood, their actions, their behaviors dictate your emotional state. Number three is being okay with disappointing other people. If someone else is disappointed or disagreeing with you on your decisions or actions, it does not mean that it's a bad or a wrong one. Number four is keeping things private. This can be your relationship, your plans, your moves, your next steps. Learn to protect it. Last one, and this one is the most important one, is choosing yourself without announcing it to everyone around you. It's one of the most powerful and magnetic things a woman can do, and this is definitely something you need to work on internally because it's not always comfortable. So if you're interested in becoming a more magnetic and confident version of worse, I made an entire study guide on Quizlet breaking down all these behaviors so that you can start adopting and applying these to your life today. It's common toxic, and I'll send you the method.
