Smile more
Loudly and clearly greet everyone when I walk into a room.
I think I’ll start studying today since I’m the queen of procrastination.
A goal for today is to ask a friend out and make a phone call
Be the first to greet
I’ll speak in group conversation without overthinking & i will also initiate conversation with people whom I liked but did not talked to them yet.
Speak up in group conversations with new people
I will learn to strike up conversation with people around me and be less afraid of the conversation ending.
Well today I just asked a new friend to hang out
that’s so cool! i’m gonna try that too soon i hope
Stop waiting for someone else to initiate the conversation, and stop skipping over the things in my head I’m overthinking wanting to say and just say it
Initiate conversations.
I practice telling 2 stories, expressing my opinion about 2 concurrent topics, 2 jokes a day
I will try to converse with more people starting from today and also try to come up with common topics to keep the conversation going.
I will personally say good morning to atleast three people and ask, how are their kids or work.
I will try to say hello to more people a day
I will try to get out of my head and ask others questions about them to encourage conversations.
I’ll try not to overthink during conversation, but instead live in the moment and even if I say something others will judge, I should remember that it’s okay and act confident. After all, they’ll probably forget it the next day.
If a conversation comes up I will participate in it and I will not stop it early.
I will listen to people and sincerely ask about them instead of worry about what I’m going to say next and if I will sound stupid.
I’ll try to be more present in the moment and try to make more meaningful conversations with people. Sometimes, I feel like I’m being judged or misperceived but I know I just need to relax.
I will try to participate in group conversations instead of holding back.
I will listen and focus on what other person is saying and let them know that so they feel validated and understood.
I’ll start small talks with my parents, myself,,, although we all live in the same house,, but I rarely approach them,,, they many a time do talk a bit with me ,, but I ignored them ,,, I have realized my mistake ,, and will now spend more time with them.
Chat with atleast 5 people in a day, bc of lockdown
I will try to speak up in group conversations, even when I think nobody is listening.
I will try to remember to take deep breaths and remain calm and really listen to what the other person is saying instead of thinking about what I am going to say while they are talking.
I will try to feel the conversation interesting and wont run out from it
I will try to ask people i meet more questions to encourage conversation if i feel that its falling flat.
I’d try to shifting the conversation a little more into a personal talk than just sticking to dry facts!
I’m trying that out as well! Keep it up!
I will share a bit of myself whenever I interact with people.
