Power - How to Conquer Difficult People Did you know that the power of suggestions could enhance you way of life, as well as help you conquer difficult people? Inside each, one of use no matter what our situation may be is a power that we can drive forward or backwards. At what time you use words to make sense it is putting the power of suggestion in perspective. The trick to gaining this insight and using the power to conquer difficult people is learning to use your inbuilt mechanisms. This means you will take yourself outside of the scene while evaluating the problem. The strategy will include learning to sort through the negative areas of the problem and make it positive. We can now consider a case scenario where as two families are involved.
The problem Everyday a woman's friend wants her to come over and drink coffee. The first woman has explained to this friend every single day that she works and she doesn't have time to sit around all day drinking coffee, yet she visits the woman anyway. Over the years, the woman who sits around all day lands into a problem was she couldn't feed her family. The first woman takes on the responsibility and helps the family through the hard time, although she is going through hard times herself. Finally, a day arrives where the pressuring woman receives a large settlement from a lawsuit. For a few months, the woman leaves the first woman alone, and never offers to help her while she struggles through difficulties. Although the woman helping this friend is upset that the woman used her, she brushed it off after a while and chalked it up as a mistake. Later, the woman runs out of money and starts calling the first woman again bugging her to come and have coffee. The woman is a writer and has deadlines, and a very nice person who hates to hurt anyone's feelings.
Can you see the problem? Can you see how we can change this situation to benefit the nice girl?
Firstly, the woman should have let her no's mean no. At what time she told her friend she had responsibilities and didn't have time to sit around all daywith her actions the woman should have stayed at home and worked.
The second problem is the woman allowed these people to use her by letting them take her kindness for weakness. In the situation, she should have learnt a lesson by thinking carefully before helping anyone else. She did!
Now this woman is back to pressuring her everyday however, pressuring her to come and drink coffee. What is the woman doing different this time? She is telling this woman what she said in the first place, i.e. I have too much work to sit around drinking coffee all day. The difference is with her actions this woman is showing her friend better than telling her that she is serious. She is not going down to the friend's house everyday that she calls. Rather she let's her friend know that although she would like to come and have coffee, she has work and once her work is completed, she might find time to come visit.
Review this case scenario and put yourself in the woman's shoes and deal with the pressuring person to see how you would handle the situation. Remember, all of us are different and may see areas in the story where you can make it better for you while dealing with pressuring people. Once you see the conflict clearly, you can move onto solving the problem.
