I haven't written in a while. I have a tendency to focus on one thing at a time (if I can help it), and I have made a commitment to stepping out of my comfort zone. This week I have been asking for discounts. I've been particularly cheeky about it, too. Personally, I have never liked asking for discounts. Come to think of it, asking for anything makes me squirm.
That said, I am asking for discounts in a non-apologetic, nice way. And surprise, surprise, I'm GETTING them! It's a wonderful learning - firstly that people are accommodating and helpful by nature, and that they want to have a pleasant encounter; secondly, the way that I put things out there greatly affects what I get back.
I quite like it - it is a way of reaching out to other people and benefitting.. I don't mind if I don't get a discount, I'm just feeling pleased that I've asked.. the actual discount feels a little like a bonus!
I am keen to hear about other suggestions for stepping out of my comfort zone. So far, the experience has been a great one!
