5 things you need to stop apologizing for immediately
Five things to stop apologizing for immediately π
Saying no
Prioritizing your needs
Being honest
Stating your opinion
Having high expectations
Anyone else guilty of apologizing for EVERYTHING?
As if our personal needs and beliefs werenβt sufficient or acceptable enough to be stated on their own without some sort of justification.
I was once called out by a friend for apologizing for something ridiculous. He stopped me mid-sentence and challenged me to reframe my language.
Rather than apologizing, why not express gratitude.
For example:
Sorry Iβm late β Thank you for your patience
Sorry Iβm so picky β I appreciate you for understanding
Sorry Iβm so emotional β Thank you for listening
When we give ourselves permission to express who we are without the need to constantly apologize, it can be a huge weight lifted off our shoulders!
I challenge you to give it a try!
Tell me, what is something you frequently apologize for? How can you reframe it to be more self-empowering?
