You know what you have to do, and there are three reasons why you are not doing it.
Some of that might be real, some of that might just be tricks your mind plays to keep you within your comfort zone, free from risks and safe.
But you know what you have to do.
So, understand what is keeping you from doing it and work around it.
Have you ever waited for your turn to speak – and I mean truly waiting, not forming-the-next sentence-in-your-mind-while-waiting-for-the-other-to-slip waiting?
Have you ever given others the time to express themselves the way they want before correcting their annoying behaviour?
Have you ever wanted for others, sincerely, something you also wanted for yourself? Have you tried to help them achieve that rather than cutting their chances with petty complaints?
Have you ever just asked a question without immediately anticipating the answer?
If you have, you know it’s magic. And it’s just what the world needs more of.
You have made a decision, now be bold when sharing it.
Don’t look for excuses – as in we would not do it, but ..
Don’t give up the ownership – as in I did not agree, but ..
Don’t delay further – as in let’s try first, then ..
Don’t beat around the bush – as in let me tell you of all the reasons why ..
Don’t be smug about it – as in you’ll see the results this will bring ..
You have a decision, not many do that, go for it. Sure, you can change your mind later, consider new information, eventually go in a different direction. But for the time you are in the decision you have made, be bold and strong.
It’s a good part of making the decision a success.
Why do we reject compliments?
Why can’t we take in positive comments, appreciations, praises?
Why don’t we make of a great review as big a deal as we do of a terrible one?
We need to be able to use compliments to shield us from stress and anxiety, to write with them the soundtrack to our days, to hold them close while we build our own identity.
Say “thank you!” the next time someone compliments you. Let it sink in, make it yours. Take it.
There’s not much you can do if others think poorly of you, don’t invite you out, avoid spending time with you, talk behind your back, badmouth you.
What you can do though is change the way you think of you and others.
That will shift the perspective and put the initial problem completely out of your mind.
