This is exactly the video I needed to see! Thank you so much! My therapist told me I needed to start thinking for myself after telling her of my emeshed family. I nearly got physically sick after setting a boundary with my mother just this year. I am 52 years old. I have had a lifetime of failed relationships being a fixer involved with nothing but addicts and abusers. I am so grateful for your videos. They are bringing me so much relief and I no longer feel like I'm crazy! THANK YOU!

I was just led you your inner child smile meditation...I was having a very anxious self-defeating and self-fighting morning..I had no peace...I was overwhelmed with thinking about everything. I was getting angry and frustrated! Then you popped up...I decided to give it a go... Usually I wouldn't but something attracted me to you... Your voice and pleasantness I think... So I just finished and in so relaxed... Not anxious... Not overwhelmed... It's awesome! A few times during the meditation I was really free mentally and emotionally and so deeply relaxed that I was unaware of where I was... What an amazing thing our minds are when we're able to get some control over them. Anyway... Many thanks and I think I'll make a daily practice of it. I feel so energized and empowered👍

This is encouraging. I have learned by saying no and setting boundaries that I do not have to carry the guilt and obligation when it doesn't feel right for me. Thank you.

You are so inspirational. Your constant reiteration of one’s value in this world. That you are unique. Be sensitive in saying your truth, in refusing to be a victim to others definition you. This is your life, your journey. You own it. Don’t allow others to take that away from you. And when and Alex have a conversation. She expresses our beliefs, fears of rejection. She speaks out and asks the questions we are struggling to understand. As always, thank you. 😊

I've been listening to this conversation for 5 minutes and so far I agree with the woman. The man reminds me of my Dad who is a man who believes he's always right and everyone else is lost. lol.

[@deeagirdici-maher2483]

At last it makes sense!!! I was totally missing the fact that I was creating the fear around making the change, so when I felt the fear my default was subconsciously saying don't do that. Now I get it. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Dee, Thanks for your comments and support. Kind regards, David.

[@nickiharris1331]

Unfortunately some people dont accept no, and then it leads to abuse! It's hard when you've made a very clear boundary and people push against it. I really hope you make a video about this soon. I have found all I can do to defend my boundary after repeating and repeatedly saying no, is to go within, leaving me shut off from the world. Hiding and going underground does not even stop some people. They still keep trying for a yes. I wish people respected a clear no. Xx 🙏 xX

Thanks for your reply David, I am a member of your fb group. I would often join in conversations and you and Alex are amazing teachers. Unfortunately I can't comment on there anymore, as I am being stalked. Hence why I made the suggestion. Not sure I am safe writing on here, but I've become so isolated. Xx 🙏 xX

[@NickBurgess]

Maybe you should stop listening to the wrong people........and be honest with those that you have left behind.......and using the word stalker is so wrong......

[@aaronglide]

Greetings to you, David, Alex, & all. I hope all is well. I could have mistaken your comment for mine! Considering the sheer accuracy, of what you have described, being a very familiar struggle, that I have experienced. I also have been socially withdrawn, however, significantly due to mental health difficulties, over the past few years, also. I truly empathise. Blessings & Love 🙌🏽 💫

This is so good! I had to learn to say no for the sake of my own well-being. There are still moments where I don't say no when I should. I am learning each day that I owe myself loyalty. I should be my first concern. I can not give when I am depleted. Thank you for this message!

[@song4mozart]

When I say no and/or speak my truth, the people who aren't meant to be in my life get upset. They try to turn it on me. I walk away from anybody who has repeatedly demonstrated toxic behavior and refuses to admit to it or refuses to stop the behavior. I can't change anybody, but I can walk away from it. That doesn't mean I don't love them or care about them, but I value my truth more because God first loved me.

[@bugsea54]

I do the same thing, but last month it was my campsite, so I kicked my friend off by telling her to pack her shit. I thought about leaving when she started twisting things around, then I said no, it's my campsite. Pack it up. I purposely got my own campsite so I wouldn't have to deal with her, and she manipulated the whole 2 days. I had been trying to talk to her about things for a year, and every time we hang out with friends, she manipulates the whole event, no talking to her, she just denies it everything. So I resorted to just putting up boundaries, I won't go here with her, no, no, constantly telling her no, which is exhausting , a 60 year old acting like a child. I decided that the weekend was enough, kicked her off my campsite, and blocked her phone number and Facebook. Some people have no respect for you and do not care how you feel. It's hard to accept, but I've accepted it.

@Wu Wei Wisdom it was no trouble. I owe you a debt of gratitude. I came across your videos, and they have done wonders for me. You have taught me so much, and a big part of my anxiety disappearing is due to your help. Thank you. As my channel grows, I would love to have you 2 on as guests and ask some questions for personalities like myself.

Your insights are on point, however, I am a bit concerned about new gurus popping up who lack empathy for those dealing with mental and emotional health issues. It’s not as simple as do this and you are better. There are times when one may need to seek professional help. Spiritual narcissism is on the rise.

[@NickBurgess]

Saying no is fine, and should be respected.......but surely a no needs explanation? Accusations against the person who has been told no, can lead to confusion and the feeling of great loss when again, the person saying no does not have the heart to explain why. This leads to unfair, and sometimes slanderous words being used against those who have been told no. For the example of love......if the person who has been told no is completely in love with the one whos saying it, and is only trying to show what the other person means to them.......can that be classed as a stalker........no, its just some people can be colder with their feelings than others.
