Learn assertiveness.
Assertiveness is the key to standing up for yourself. It isn't just a cliche, it's a bona fide means for improving your chances of getting what you want and for being heard properly. Being assertive enables you to express your wants, needs, and preferences in a way that shows you're prepared to stand up for yourself while still respecting the other person. Assertive techniques improve your self-confidence and displays that you value yourself.
Get the victory over jealousy. I was raised to celebrate others and to be happy for people when things are going well others. Don’t let what others are doing make you envious of them. Allow it to motivate you positively. You don’t have to down some one else to bring yourself up. Learn to celebrate others even when its not your turn.
Focus on your strengths. Know what your weaknesses are and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Write the vision and make it plan. I remember this particular year, top of the year, I made a vision board and put EVERYTHING on there. My hopes. My desires. My dreams. My plans. My likes. My wants. Everything was on there. One thing I didn’t symbolize on my vision board was my job. I subconsciously left that off. Later that year, I had no job! I say that to say this, be careful and strategic of what you put and don’t put on your vision board. Just know, that all things work together for the good!
