Say it Straight
The Say It Straight Guide
How to stop over-explaining and just say the true thing
You don't lie, you just soften things so much they no longer sound like yourself. This guide helps you say the true thing without wrapping it in ten disclaimers first:
- Name what you're feeling
- Use the I Feel, I Need formula
- Let it be messy instead of polished
Inside this guide:
- How to name what you're feeling before you package it
- The I Feel, I Need formula
- A 15-day practice tracker
This won't undo years of shrinking your sentences in one sitting. What it will give you is a taste of what it feels like to say something plainly and have it land. You don't have to keep softening every true thing you mean.
There's a way other people have found to speak clearly, without becoming harsh, without losing the parts of themselves that made them careful in the first place. 💌
