#TTDareoftheDay

Dare to assert yourself in a space where you usually hold back. Whether it’s at work, in a social setting, or even at home, take a moment to be fully present and authentic. Share a thought, a feeling, or an idea that you’ve been keeping to yourself. Notice how it feels to be vulnerable and how others respond to your openness.
