Would you like to increase your self confidence?

An easy way to immediately feel and be perceived as confident is to pay attention to the way you stand and the way you move.

Confident people move their body in a certain ways.

For example they sit and stand tall with their shoulders back. Are you sitting tall right now or do you have your shoulders slumped forwards? How about you try sitting up tall right now?

How do you feel?

When you slump forward you can be perceived as lacking in self confidence and weak. Is this how you want to be perceived? No! I didn’t think so!

It’s also great for your posture and well-being.

When people walk tall with confident strides it looks like they know where they are going – with purpose and guess what? People want to follow too!

So when you walk around the office, to and from places and as you walk up to present to your team stand tall, shoulders back, abdominal’s engaged and look like you’re on a mission.

If you’re not on a mission to do something with purpose, what are you doing?

By sitting, standing and walking tall instantly it makes you feel more confident on the inside.

So the question I would have is – why wouldn’t you do this all the time?

And ladies, if you need some help to feel extra tall simply put on a pair of heels!

Until next time, I hope you have a fantastic day!

Is there someone whom you work with that really gets on your nerves?

Do they often ruin your day and you wish you didn’t have to work anywhere near them?

Irritations, annoyance even anger always comes from within us. If you’re really peaceful in whom you are, what you’re doing and where you’re going then no one can annoy you, unless you let them.

Tips – Ask yourself is there anything you can do or want to do right now to move away from this person? If you’re not prepared to or know you can’t then…

You need to change your perception of this irritating colleague.

I believe people cross our paths for a reason good or bad. Maybe this person is sitting next to you to help you learn a valuable lesson in life. Instead of wasting precious energy being frustrated be thankful to them for highlighting something you need to work on.

Perhaps it’s developing focus around a busy chaotic environment and still get the job done.

Or maybe you’re worrying too much about what other people are doing that you really should spend more time worrying about doing YOUR best job.

I always say “Let them go and wish them well.” If they’re doing the wrong thing it will catch up with them it’s not your job to worry about that.

Remember irritating colleagues are also on their journey in life, learning their lessons and mostly just trying to do their best. If that is their best then who are we to judge?

So ask yourself what are you REALLY annoyed about? Is it that you know you’re in the wrong job but are afraid to leave and have to ‘put up’ with this colleague because of it? Have you been slack at work and should actually be somewhere else by now?

What else? What else? What else?

Once you have your truthful answer can we get somewhere!

Do you have an irritating colleague you work with? Do you have any idea where the annoyance is coming from within you? Write below I would love to help you through it.

Thanks for reading  and until next time…

I hope you have a fantastic day!

We all like to be liked and loved but trying to make this happen is a goal you can never achieve.

The problem is, if you are too busy trying to get everyone at work to like you, you can fall victim to losing focus on what is most important, also losing respect.

Many people don’t think they are trying to get everyone at work to love them but don’t be mistaken.

Be aware of doing things that are not in the best interest of your company but you choose to do so because you don’t want to risk a colleague, client or boss being upset or feeling badly towards you.

I know you still might be thinking no I wouldn’t do that but would you?

If your best friend was doing something stupid, if you’re a great friend you wouldn’t be afraid to tell them so.

What about your boss?

Hmm… now have I got your attention?

The easiest way to know if you have a problem with wanting everyone at work to love you is if you answer yes to either one of these questions:

1. Do you get upset, frustrated or angry when someone doesn’t like or love you?
2. Are you tired of trying to keep everyone happy that you become frustrated that you’re not getting what you want?

I hope you have a fantastic day!
