7 Habits of Highly Confident People and 7 Ways to Build Self Confidence
Our self-confidence is often tested when we need to speak our minds, start a conversation with someone, do a presentation, or any form of public speaking. This is so true for many. But there are deeper and more challenging ways people struggle with self-confidence. And when we do not have the foundation to help build our confidence, we hesitate, we shy away, and we develop unnecessary fears. These unhealthy reactions to the lack of confidence ultimately affect our way of thinking. In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty talks about how highly confident people developed self-confidence and the best practices to keep them going.
Steps On How To Say NO, Stop People Pleasing & Prioritize Yourself
Perhaps the hardest word you can say to someone is NO. Saying YES to something, even if it’s half-heartedly meant, is easier because you aren’t obliged to justify it. The pressure is less, and so it’s easier to say so. Whereas, if you say NO, there is this need to justify why you said that and why it isn’t possible for you to do anything at the moment. The guilt for refusing will haunt you. At the back of your mind, this guilt will pressure you to eventually give in. When you eventually give in, you won’t feel good about yourself because the situation is forcing you to do it. In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty talks about how to say NO without feeling guilty and why you need to say it clearly and openly.
