Your Brain vs Your Income

Think of a time when you wanted to ask for a higher salary or fees, but you didn't. Pick one real moment. Maybe a meeting, maybe a performance review, maybe a conversation that you avoided. Close your eyes and now rate that moment on a scale of 1 to 10. How uncomfortable was it? Maybe it's a 7, 8, or even a 9. When you think about that moment, Notice something. There is an image in your mind— how you see your boss, how you see yourself, the room, the situation. There could also be a sound, maybe their voice, maybe your own voice inside your head. And there is a feeling in your body, maybe tight chest, heavy stomach, nervousness, Feel that image, that sound, and that feeling together are what stopped you from asking for more money.
