Stand Up For Yourself

Stand Up For Yourself

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow, what you stop, and what you reinforce.

~ Tony Gaskins

I found an interesting article this morning on how to stand up for yourself.

The basics:

1. Be prepared. If you know you’re going to have to make a case for yourself, make sure you know what you’re talking about. 

2. Baby steps. Try out your tactics in low-risk situations to start — like asking for more time on a project or taking a couple of tasks off your plate. 

3. Change your perception of being nice. Being a nice person doesn’t mean you have to say yes to everything –– it’s ok to put your foot down — you’ll still be nice. 

4. Practice quiet power. Continue to listen and show your appreciation for people even when you are standing up for yourself. You do not have to raise your voice. 

5. Be honest. Getting what you need and want to succeed comes from the heart. Skip telling people what you think they want to hear and be real.

Love posting to themes? You might enjoy these great themes with excellent curators! Themes and hashtags are not necessarily about getting more attention, but are a valuable indexing method, which help others find relevant posts via clickable links as well as a great way to meet like-minded people. I tend to only promote those themes with active, caring curators.
