Why You Need To Follow Your Own Advice (And How To Do It Right)
We’ve all been there.
We go over and beyond to listen, empathize and find a way to assist people. Every possibility seems so obvious. Sometimes, it’s so frustrating to see the answer straight away when the other one can’t.
It gets more complicated when it’s time to step out of our comfort zone.
Everything shuts down. You can’t get out of yourself. And even when you do, you’d rather try anything than listen to yourself.
The answer?
Imagine what you would say to a friend in that situation.
- How should they approach the issue?
- What should they consider?
- What strategy should they adopt?
- Where to start?
Still not convinced?
Remind yourself why you gave that advice.
Think about :
- What would happen if you acted as you should?
- How would you feel?
