Let's talk about the confidence-building strategies specifically crafted for we introverts. Drawing from personal experience, I recount receiving feedback that suggested a lack of confidence, a common misconception about we introverts often compared unfairly to extraverts.

I also explore what true confidence entails, aligning with Dr. Rob Yeung’s definition: taking effective action despite fear.

Developing quiet confidence involves understanding one's strengths and maintaining emotional balance through self-care and mindfulness practices. I address the myth that introverts lack confidence and highlight how we can embrace our innate strengths to show up strategically and authentically.

What does genuine self-care for introverts look like?

Often misconstrued as superficial indulgences, true self-care requires a deeper understanding of our 'wants' versus our 'needs'. While 'wants' are akin to icing on a cake, nice for sure, but essential? Not really!

The real substance lies in addressing our core needs.

In this episode I to help you identify and prioritise the deep-seated aspects that contribute to mental, emotional, physical, and equally important social well-being. I also talk about the 'needs chart' which is a valuable visual aid to help communicate and understand personal needs within families and teams.

Let's explore this together.

*** Key Points ***

• • Distinguish between 'wants' vs. 'needs'.
  • Adapt routines based on changing needs.
  • Use a ‘needs chart’ for clarity.

This I believe is the right time for this episode for we introverts with festive season at its peak.

I explore how we socialise on our own terms during the high-energy, high expectation festive season. As an introvert myself, I've often faced misconceptions that I'm antisocial, shy or arrogant.

Apparently, introverts avoid people. We do not. It is about managing our social and emotional energy wisely. It is more about how societal pressures affect we introverts both at work and in family situations.

It is about respecting our own boundaries while giving ourselves the permission to enjoy social events meaningfully. It is about being discerning with invites using our personal selective socialisation blueprint.

*** Key Points ***

• Understand and respect our boundaries with social invites.
• Communicating polite yet firm 'no'
• Set your intentions mindfully
