068. Do you find yourself constantly apologizing for things that don't require an apology? Do you downplay your accomplishments or seek approval excessively?
I've been there too, but in this episode, I share my personal experiences with an apologetic demeanor and encourage you to own your talents and express yourself confidently without apologizing.
In the discussion, I highlight three common ways in which people demonstrate an apologetic demeanor: excessive apologizing, downplaying accomplishments, and seeking approval excessively. I stress the importance of recognizing and owning your strengths and talents, even if you're just starting out.
Furthermore, I urge you to set boundaries and assert yourself in a polite and thoughtful manner, without seeking permission or approval excessively. I believe that having boundaries is vital to protect yourself from being bulldozed over in life and that apologizing for your boundaries is not helpful.
Join me in this inspiring episode, which offers free journal prompts, and challenge yourself to overcome your apologetic behavior and become more assertive. It's time to own your talents, set your boundaries, and express yourself confidently without apology!
