In this article, Delhi’s eminent psychologist and marriage counselor Shivani Misri Sadhoo shares mistakes mentally strong women do not make. Here, they are.
They Do Not Compare Themselves with Other People
Whether you're looking at the social media photos of a celebrity's holidays or you have heard about your friend’s appraisal, comparing yourself with others is tempting. But when every minute you spend comparing your life with other’s life is 60 seconds you aren't paying attention to your goals.
They Don't Strive On Perfection
Perfectionism has some ironic twist. It will make you experience such high levels of stress that your performance will actually become downgraded. Establishing high expectations for yourself is good but do not set the bar high enough which is impossible to reach.
They Don't Look At Vulnerability as A Weakness
Your game approach definitely serves a purpose. It shows people you're serious. But asking for assistance, acknowledging your weaknesses, and accepting you do not have all the solutions aren't signs of weakness.
They Never Let Self-Doubt Stop Them from Reaching Their Goals
Your mind will force you to think that you're not good, capable or smart enough. But don't believe everything you think. Your brain will try to underestimate you.
They Are Not Afraid Of Breaking the Rules
From a young age, several girls are taught the importance of being polite, cultured and well-mannered. But it is the rule-breakers who change the world.
They Don't Run Away From Tough Challenges
Whether it's a promotion to a higher position or an uneasy conversation you need to have with a colleague, avoiding tough challenges will keep you stuck. Face your fears openly one small step at a time, and you'll see the confidence in yourself.
They Don't Pull Others Down To Lift Themselves Up
It is always easy to try to elevate your own position by pointing out someone else's flaws. But genuine women are the ones who really succeed in life without pulling down others.
They Do Not Stay Silent
From official meetings to social gatherings, several studies show that women do not get nearly as much ShowTime as men. Speak up and find your genuine voice so you can be heard.
They Never Hesitate To Reinvent Themselves
When you mature, your personality, priorities, and values will change, and so should you. Whether you make a full career shift at the age of 35, or you decide to embrace your spirituality at 50, reinventing yourself is vital to personal growth.
They Don't Fear Owning Their Success
Women are usually afraid of appearing arrogant or too ambitious. Even when complimented, they're likely to give the credit to someone else or pass an immediate compliment back. Practice saying a simple "Thank you," and own your achievements.
