Stop apologising for…

 

 

We live in a culture of apologising for who we are; the British especially are excellent at apologising for no reason at all.  

 

How often do you apologise for…

 

asking questions 

not being available all the time

your feelings 

vocalising your needs

outgrowing a place, person or situation 

your accomplishments 

not looking presentable 

doing things that make you happy

having boundaries 

having a messy house

 

You really don’t need to apologise for any of those things.

 

While we’re at it, start replacing your “I’m sorry”’s with “thank you”…

 

“Sorry I kept you waiting” becomes “thank you for waiting for me”.

 

“Sorry I made a mistake” becomes “thank you for teaching me something new”.

 

What do you find yourself apologising for when you really don’t need to?
