#assertive training

I  am listening (or re-listening) to Jordan Peterson’s lectures of Maps of Meaning. It is a great lecture series. Especially because it taught you how to embrace your inner monster so that you can be a fully functional adults. To learn to control it and to use it for good. If you are on the internet a lot, I am sure you have heard of him. I have been listening and repeating all his lectures available from his channel. If you don’t know he is a Professor in Psychology in The University Of Toronto Canada. These videos are taken and recorded basically from his courses at the university. You are basically taking a university course for free.

I skypes my friend.last week just to say hi and she was all "I'm glad you called. What's your address? I need to send something to you and then we figure out how to get it to me." So I thought ok we will figure it out over time, I guess she just really needs a US address to get this thing she wants. Turns out It's for someone else, and I am supposed to get to her in Jamaica by Friday. Dude. International shipping is expensive, especially if you're using fedex or ups. So the package came yesterday. I sent her a fb message n sed the package arrived. You know, to my inlaws, where I live. And that I am.going out of town that very day. That's when she told.me It's a rush thing n I have to send it by today so she can get it by fri. Ugh. So I sent it to NY so someone could bring it to her in Jamaica. It took me almost an hour. I spent 45 mins at the PO waiting in line. At the time my family and I were supposed to be leaving for vacation. Ugh. If that wasn't bad enough, I am trying to enjoy my vacation with my family n she is calling and fb messaging me like I am her man. Like hello??? Blah blah blah. I dnt have fb messanger on my phone and I really have no time to be on the computer. Ugh. It's annoying. I really must learn to be more assertive and say no to things I don't want to do.
