Fight Back When You Are Intimidated [How To]
Fight Back When You Are Intimidated [How To]
If you’ve felt intimidated in non-violent situations and didn’t know how to respond, bear in mind that the goal of the intimidator is to take power away from you. You should stand firm and have confidence: do not let him usurp that power. If you are unable to respond because the person is cutting in with additional questions, assume control of the situation and respond slowly that you’re not finished explaining your side of the story. Do not shout back. Instead, employ subtle humiliation. For example, if some is hot-tempered and wants to resolve an issue immediately, calmly respond that you will when the individual cools off.
Never let anyone take charge of your emotions. You’re the one who is in control. How do you prevent others from assuming your power? Share your tactics in the comments.
Did you get a lot of gifts this past holiday season? The bigger question: are you still using them? Weblog ThinkSimpleNow suggests that the novelty may wear off if it hasn’t already. With all this extra “stuff,” our homes and minds are filled with excess possessions and information. However, our perceptions should be that “less is more” and minimalism is far more important than having everything. Instead of rushing to do things quickly, slow down. Stop multitasking all the time; occasionally, do one thing at a time. Clear the clutter and remove any items you don’t need. Control your spending habits to avoid accumulating all the excess. Most importantly, enjoy the time and possessions that you have. If you step back, relax, and “think simple,” you can enjoy the pleasures in life, such as a beautiful sunset, without worrying about everything else that detracts from the experience of living.
