If you are tired of being a passive person and giving the right to make important decisions to other people, then it's time to become an independent, strong personality. Set aside your desire to please and agreeableness and start fulfilling your needs.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to set yourself clear goals and achieve them. Select a task and complete it. Be sure to do whatever you intend to do. Gradually complicate your goals.
Step 2
Stop complaining and making yourself look like a failure. Be able to see an unpleasant situation from the other side and talk about it with humor. To make it easier to deal with life's adversities and change your attitude towards life, watch comedies and read life-affirming books.
Step 3
Be mysterious. Do not discuss your financial situation, health and intimate details of life with people who are not members of your family. If everyone knows everything about you, you will be easily manipulated. If you create an aura of mystery, it will be easier for you to gain credibility in the team.
Step 4
Be aware of what is happening around. Follow the news, fashion trends, electronic novelties. The more you know about the world in which you live, the easier it will be for you to adapt to its changes.
Step 5
Add self-confidence. Take care of your appearance and fitness. When you change your style to be more representative, you will see how your attitude towards yourself begins to change. You will begin to behave differently and even think differently.
Step 6
Don't be manipulated. Know how to recognize the person who is trying to impose his opinion on you. Do not fall for flattery and provocation.
Step 7
Take a personal growth training. A professional will help you gain confidence in your abilities and strengthen your desire to take life into your own hands. Read motivational literature and watch movies in which heroes go against the system and succeed.
Step 8
Learn to refuse. Don't go against your own will to please another person. There are many different ways to make it clear that this is not the best time to ask you a favor, from hints to a definite no. Do not be tormented by a feeling of guilt, because you do not owe anything to anyone.
