Express Yourself

One of the most difficult things for most adults is speaking up for themselves. I get it. I am the same way sometimes. I don’t want to be difficult. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I don’t want to be seen as the trouble maker. Do you ever feel that way?

Some of the ways I have discovered to express myself in the workplace and not be seen as what I mentioned above, is to be truthful, honest, and sincere. Think about you you need to say. Think about whether it will be constructive. Think about whether what you say will improve or enhance a particular situation.

If you what you say will be constructive and enhance the situation, then express yourself. Particularly when it comes to standing up for yourself. If you feel like you are being mistreated, misused, unappreciated. Express yourself. Express your thoughts and do not tolerated those kinds of behaviors.

You don’t have to be rude when you express yourself, just heard.
