Confidence, some people just ooze with confidence, and some people look like they could use some. If you are one of those people who could use some, you have come to the right place. Before I go ahead with the pointers on improving confidence within yourself, let help you understand why you need it in the first place. In one of my blogs, I discuss the power of words. If you wish to be someone who wants to run the world, you need to be confident in yourself. If you want to grow in your life, socially and professionally, you need to have confidence in yourself. But of course, you need to learn there is a fine line between confidence and being a stubborn bull. Being confident does not mean you stop taking suggestions and advice it means having faith in yourself and the work you are doing. Always remember self-confidence is the key to your super Saiyan mode So, what can you do to improve your self-confidence? Answer 1) Work on your lifestyle. One of the common reasons for people to lac
It is said that "no" is the shortest sentence in English, which I think is true. Even though it's a very simple word, it takes up a lot of courage to say no. Why is that? the answer is simple because we as humans have the tendency to please everyone, we seek validation, we try to make everyone happy and because of this tendency, we end up saying yes to things we really don't want to do. When we those things which we wanted to say no too, we end up doing it half heartldly and that ends up just making thing awkward and uncomfortable for both parties.
When a person learns to say 'no', he or she does not only feel empowered but also grows as an indivuial. Now, you might be thinking that the stuff I just said is common knowledge the bigger question is how to say no?
Here is the answer -
1) Don't think much about it.
It is good to consider other peoples feeling, but if we end up diving in too deep we end up loosing our own self. So, don't think so hard about saying no, just simply say and give a logical reason on why you are saying no.
2) Use the right words.
If you are in a situation where you want to say no, but you really don't know how to without hurting the other person, just say, "Unfortunatly, I can't I ( reason )" or " I would love too but I reall have to (reason) These are some fancy ways to say no. If someone is forcing you to go somewhere and you don't want to just say " Oh man I so wanted to go that place, unfortunately I have (reason). How about next time?
3) Be Humble with your tone of voice.
Now being humble does not mean speak so softly that the other person does not have any respect for you words. Humble means speak kindly but be assertive with your tone.
4) Be logical with your excuse
I know for some of you its difficult to lie, so this one is for the people who know how to lie. Whenever you are giving an excuse to not go somewhere or be somewhere, trying being logical towards it. Don't give elaborate reason of not attending, people who try hard to lie end up going into a lot of details. Try to keep it simple
5) Just say No.
Well this one is kind of a very straight forward point. Somedays just say no, if you are someone with a cold heart like my ex, saying no should come easy to you. Simply say no.
Alright folks, these are few pointers on saying no for people who have a hard time saying it.
Bonus tip - Practice in front of the mirror, imagine situations where you would need to say no, and think of the words and tone you need to use to get out that situation. Contorl over you emotions is the key.
