When was the last time you didn’t do something you wanted or did something you didn’t want to do because you feared others would judge you? Worry about what people think is like a lasting fog on your happiness path. Being too worried about what people think of you means you aren’t clear enough about what you think of yourself. Don’t worry about what people think of you, worry about what you think of you. Is thinking about yourself, your goals, and your life selfish? No, it’s productive! The more you focus on yourself, the less you’ll focus on others and what they think. Start by improving your self-awareness. That way, you won’t feel the need to change at the whim of other preferences and judgments. Then, focus on your future. Here is how you can increase your focus on yourself so you can stop worrying about what others think of you and start being free. Complete the following phrases: • “Success is …” • “My top values are …” • “The purpose of what I do is …” • “My top goal this year is …” • “I am grateful for …” • “I like … and I don’t like …” Created by Ivna Curi at Assertive Way LLC
