The ability to insist on your decision is the knowledge of your rights, the ability to fight for your ideas and prove them logically. In the modern world, it is quite difficult to defend your point of view. But the ability to insist will get you the results you want.
Instructions
Step 1
To defend your decision, you first need to understand: whatever thought is born in the head, it has the right to exist. This decision is original, not collected from other people's opinions, it is personal, and therefore can cause mistrust and negativity in others. Therefore, you need to be prepared that he will be criticized in any case. Criticism can be taken up by close people, maybe colleagues or bosses, or completely strangers. In any case, you need to prepare for this.
Step 2
Don't take criticism too closely. Anyone has the right to have their own opinion. But don't dwell on it. Even if a very authoritative person speaks out, then do not put his opinion as a final one.
Step 3
If during disputes there is an irresistible desire to abandon your thoughts and get away from the topic, then you should work on yourself. Try at home in a relaxed atmosphere to discuss all the logical reasons for your decision. It will be good to write them on a piece of paper or Whatman paper. Then all thoughts will acquire a clear plan. As a result, they can be easily reproduced in front of an opponent in a dispute.
Step 4
In the process of defending your decision, you should adhere to a confident manner of communication. You need to talk about yourself only with respect, about your opponent too. Show everyone that the decision was not spontaneous, but deliberate and balanced. You should not switch to raised tones, and even more so to a cry. Gesturing too often also shows nervousness and self-doubt. Learn the basics of sign language and try to stick to open poses. In this case, the opponent will be more relaxed. Open gestures will allow him to trust and relax a little.
Step 5
During the conversation, keep the initiative in your hands, do not give anyone the opportunity to direct the conversation. Then you can be calm that the result of the dispute will lead to positive results. If someone seized the initiative, then smoothly turn the conversation back in the right direction.
Step 6
There are 4 classic methods to help you defend your opinion. One of them is the affirmative answer method. Try to ask questions in such a way that the interlocutor answers only positively. As a result, it will be easier for the opponent to come to an agreement with the decision.
Step 7
If the interlocutor is too aggressive, then try to agree with his opinion, and at the end of the dispute, give an irrefutable argument against his evidence. Thus, he will not have any evidence against the decision.
Step 8
Do not be offended by those who do not want to put up with the decision. Every opinion has the right to be, but it is not binding on anything. You shouldn't be angry with your opponents either, as this can only lead to stress. Try to put yourself in his shoes and analyze why the person is so opposed to the decision. Perhaps, as a result, there will be some way to convince the partner.
Step 9
If the opinion was defended, then you should not be too jubilant. Be calm, try to be humble. In no case should you get into a pose and rejoice. Be sympathetic to the losers in the dispute. Glee can provoke conflict.
