Not always a person can realistically assess their strengths and capabilities. Some underestimate themselves, are afraid to take the initiative and take up a new business. Others rush into the unknown with their heads, not thinking about whether they will be able to fulfill their promises.
Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to consciously approach the solution of vital issues, not to make immediate decisions. Even the promises you make to people you know need to be kept. If you are deciding whether you can help a friend renovate his dacha, do not agree right away, ask for some time to think. Assess your skills and capabilities, estimate how much time this work will take from you. Only then make a decision.
Step 2
Approach any situation in the same way. The moment you give your word, you take responsibility for fulfilling it. So that you are not accused of idle talk and non-obligation, do not promise to do what you are not able to do.
Step 3
Think about how often you have promised eternal love, cash flow, deadlines, and other things. Sometimes you do not even think about the consequences, speak in such a way that they will be left behind in order to calm the person down. After some time, you find yourself "hostage" to your own words, dooming yourself to quarrels and conflicts.
Step 4
Analyze all situations where everything happened exactly like this. You did not have enough time, energy, abilities, desire to fulfill your promise? Next time, evaluate your capabilities in advance, do not load an unbearable burden on your shoulders. Do not be afraid to ask for time to think, it will only show you a reasonable and responsible person.
Step 5
It is often difficult and unpleasant to admit, even to yourself, that you cannot do something. Work on yourself so that you are accustomed to first evaluating yourself, and then making promises.
Step 6
Continuously improve your qualifications and acquire new skills, so you will significantly increase your capabilities. It's so nice to do the job even better and faster than promised!
Step 7
Learn to choose such phrases so that they are not categorical. It is difficult not to break a promise formulated in this way: "I will never be late for work!". After all, the situation on the roads does not depend on your desires, anything can happen, and you will not keep your word. Better to tell the employer: "I will do my best to arrive on time!"
