1. Learn to understand and express their emotions. If you feel that you no one will talk, if you say that you are dissatisfied with something, then just accept as a fact that it is not. And if someone did turn away from you due to the fact that you defend its interests - it is necessary to think about what to do build your relationship and why they are for you personally.
Moreover, their emotions have to say at the moment when you can do it safely, rather than when brought to the "boiling point" and can no longer be silent.
2. Accept yourself for who you are, listen to their own desires, rather than those you impose from the outside. No matter how many advisors around - only you can decide how you live your life: someone genuinely wants peace working in the office, and someone - to conquer the mountain tops, someone dreaming of a big family with many children, and someone does not want to do any relations. And each of these scenarios is a normal and adequate, if that is what you want for yourself is you.
3. Get rid of the fear that you "no" or "empty space". It is important to go its own way, and it does not matter - whether you're a superstar, or just a caring mother, or a combination of both.
Write down on a sheet of goals and desires, what you would like to achieve, and then analyze: you really want to know 5 languages, to lose weight by 20 kg and get a million subscribers in "Instagrame" - or you perceive it as a sign of happiness, although it is completely independent of these external factors. Remember that many of you desire to impose savvy marketers who form a relationship you "purchase" - "happiness".4. Get rid of all the toxic relationship. If people discount your accomplishments and dignity, they say that you will not achieve anything, no matter what is not capable, not attractive, etc., assert themselves at your expense - that communicate with such people should stop. You need them exactly unhappy to feel superior. But why should you? If the person next to you will feel miserable and worthless, not happy - you are not on the way.
5. Value their achievements and abilities. When you praise - do not cry the blues, "it could be a", "yes that this", "yes everyone does," etc. Learn to accept compliments and praise. No need to brag or self-praise myself, but if it is done by others, it is worth thank stop yourself if you want to talk about some "but", which detract your Merit.
Remember that every time when I want to say bad about yourself, it is better just keep quiet. His self-flagellation you humiliate not only ourselves, but also to convince others of their shortcomings, most of which they would not have noticed.
