The next letter is you.

Understand.

Understand the roots of our feelings.

In my life, I recognized that there's a voice in my head often judging me, telling me what to do, leading me.

And somewhere along my journey, I recognized that that's not actually my voice.

So whose voice is it that's guiding you and your decisions?

Is that a parent?

Is that a teacher?

Is it an older sibling?

Is it a bully from third grade?

What is the root of this feeling?

Where is it coming from?

What values of yours might feel like they're being compromised in this moment?

Because if we can identify the root

we can get to the actual cause of this and we're not so susceptible to popping off, all right?

Next letter is S, set boundaries, separate yourself, ensure safety.

I know sometime I don't wanna walk away, we gonna handle this right now.

I've never known that to be the best.

idea to be calm, to be cool, to walk away into a safe environment so that you're ensuring safety for everyone.

That's what a real man does.
