Here's another interesting discovery... I'm not thrilled about the job I'm interviewing for Tuesday and when I asked my friend if I should cancel the interview, she gave me language I'm comfortable with to not let myself get pushed into something I don't want. It was that simple! Why couldn't I have done that for myself?
Maybell,
Do you believe in yourself? Do you know you're smart? Beautiful? Dynamic? A good mother? A good friend? When do you feel you are at your most confident?
When it comes to stuff like being assertive (such as developing language to help you not get pushed into something you don't want) it sometimes takes a specific mindset. A mindset that doesn't come naturally for me but I am relatively good at faking it until I make it. I DO, however, need to bounce this stuff off my BFF because she sees things I don't. That's what friends are for.
Being able to ask someone something you could have done for yourself doesn't mean anything other than you might be an external processor (this has nothing to do with being introverted or extroverted). You might need to bounce things off others just to get your thinking started and then you're good. I'm the SAME!
i'd love to hear you speak more positively about yourself. To accept yourself for exactly who you are and what you stand for today! I know that's not an easy thing to do but it's another part of faking it until you become it.
Also, consider a power pose before the interview. It works!!!
