How often have you delayed saying something difficult to someone?

Have you ever delayed saying something for days, weeks or even
months, because you fear a bad reaction?

If you’re like most people, you’ll have done it more than once. And
each time you’ve probably told yourself, you won’t do it again!

Am I right?

Look, all you do by delaying things, is … put off the inevitable. And in the process you cause yourself untold stressand anxiety. And do you know what? When you eventually pluck up the courage to say what you need to say… things are often nowhere near as bad as you expect them to be.

So all the worry and anxiety is for nothing. All that going over what you’re going to say, how you’re going to say it and how the other person’s going to react is just a waste of time.

So, next time you have something to say, simply work out what you
want to say, think about the situation from the other person’s point of view, decide when you’re going to say it… and just do it!

One other thing though, be prepared to listen as well as talk. If
you’re flexible, reasonable and prepared to negotiate, the end result will be so much better.

Make today a great day!
