In the midst of difficult conversations or interpersonal challenges it’s easy to lose track of your own values and boundaries. The FAST skill helps you maintain self-respect and stay true to who you are, even when things get tough.

FAST stands for:
* Fair: Be fair to yourself and others — no one deserves to be mistreated, including you.
* Appreciate: Appreciate and respect yourself in the situation. Don’t settle for less than you deserve.
* Stick to values: Don’t compromise your core values for the sake of the relationship.
* Truthful: Be honest and straightforward, avoiding exaggerations or lies.

⚖️ Why it matters: Maintaining your self-respect is crucial to healthy relationships and emotional well-being. When you lose sight of your values or give up too much of yourself, resentment and frustration build. The FAST skill helps you stay grounded, assertive, and true to yourself.

💡 Try this: Next time you’re in a situation that tests your values or boundaries, ask yourself:
1. Fair: “Am I being treated fairly here? Is this a win-win situation?”
2. Appreciate: “Am I respecting myself and my needs in this interaction?”
3. Stick to values: “Does this align with my core values and what I stand for?”
4. Truthful: “Am I being honest and clear, or am I sugar-coating things to avoid conflict?”

💬 Remember: You don’t have to choose between your own needs and a healthy relationship. By using FAST, you can stay true to yourself while still being compassionate toward others.

Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and emotional support. The GIVE skill helps you stay connected while navigating challenges, ensuring that your interactions are positive and effective. It’s all about showing care and consideration for the other person while also standing firm in your own needs.

GIVE stands for:
* Gentle: Be kind, avoid attacks or harsh words.
* Interested: Show that you care about the other person’s thoughts and feelings.
* Validate: Acknowledge and respect the other person’s perspective.
* Easy Manner: Stay calm and relaxed, and avoid becoming defensive.

🌱 Why it matters: When you approach conversations with a mindset of respect and empathy, it creates a space for both people to feel heard and valued. This strengthens relationships and makes it easier to collaborate and resolve conflicts.

💡 Try this: The next time you’re having a conversation that could be challenging, try using the GIVE framework:
1. Gentle: “I appreciate you taking the time to talk.”
2. Interested: “I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.”
3. Validate: “I understand that you feel upset, and I can see why that would be frustrating.”
4. Easy Manner: Keep your tone light, your body language open, and your voice steady.
💖 Remember: Giving space for both your perspective and the other person’s helps you stay connected while building mutual respect.

When you need to ask for something or set a boundary, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure of how to communicate effectively. DEAR MAN is a powerful tool for being clear and assertive without being aggressive or passive.

DEAR is what you do, it stands for:
* Describe: State the facts of the situation.
* Express: Share your feelings about the situation.
* Assert: Clearly ask for what you need or want.
* Reinforce: Explain the positive outcomes for the other person if they help.

MAN is how to do it, it stands for:
* Mindful: Stay focused on your goal and avoid distractions.
* Appear Confident: Use body language and tone that reflect confidence.
* Negotiate: Be willing to give a little to reach a solution.

🎯 Why it matters: This skill helps you communicate your needs and set boundaries in a way that minimizes conflict and maximizes understanding. It helps ensure that you get what you need without feeling like you’re being pushy or disrespectful.

💡 Try this: Next time you need something from someone, use the DEAR MAN framework:
1. Describe: “I’ve noticed that our meetings are often running late.”
2. Express: “This makes me feel frustrated because I have other commitments.”
3. Assert: “I’d like us to start the meetings on time.”
4. Reinforce: “If we can start on time, I’ll feel more focused and we can finish on schedule.”
5. Mindful: Stay on track, don’t get sidetracked by other points.
6. Appear Confident: Keep a calm voice and strong posture.
7. Negotiate: “Would you be willing to adjust the schedule slightly to accommodate everyone?”

✨ Remember: You have a right to express your needs and set boundaries with respect and clarity. It’s all about being firm and kind.
