Boasting is not good. This statement is only partly correct. If you sing odes to yourself with the right approach and attitude, you can increase self-esteem without being called a braggart, share your achievements with the world and achieve even greater success in both life and work. Therefore, Estet-portal decided to share with its readers information about why it is worth showing off and how to do it right.
Therefore, to get you started, here are 5 reasons why moderate, reasonable, and justified boasting is good:
- You open up new horizons. If people do not know what you are capable of and you are too modest, they may never know about your talents and abilities. For you, this is fraught with missed opportunities.
- You can earn more money. Boasting gives you an advantage at work - that's a fact. Interestingly, women who are less likely to brag about their work are more likely to miss opportunities and are less likely to get promoted. In this case, the saying that boasting is not good is completely wrong. Here we are talking about the fact that you should receive recognition and an award that you honestly deserve.
- It's nice. I won’t praise myself… In general, when you praise yourself, your mood improves: praise makes the brain feel the same pleasure as eating your favorite food or receiving money (according to a study by the Harvard Institute).
- You increase your self-confidence. If you yourself are proud of yourself and your achievements, it is easier for people around you to do the same towards you.
- You are raising the bar. If you praise yourself, you are setting yourself up for future improvement. If you see how cool what you have achieved now, you will certainly become interested in what you can achieve next time. If you do not praise yourself, you yourself underestimate your expectations and requirements for yourself.
If you're not used to showing off, it will be difficult for you to start doing it. Therefore, below we will tell you how to brag correctly - talk about yourself with pride.
Bragging Rules
- Short and sweet. In order to correctly present information, it is necessary to do it briefly, interestingly, while making sure that it concerns the person to whom you are telling.
- Praise others. Effective bragging doesn't always have to be focused on you. For example, if you want to show off your successfully completed project that a friend/colleague helped you do, take a cue from Oscar winners: “It was a successful project and I could never have done it so well without my faithful friend Vasya.”
- Show off to your superiors. Every time you achieve a goal, meet or exceed a plan at work, write it down. Do not forget to very transparently and not at all subtly hint to your manager that your personal success is a contribution to the success of the entire company. The ability to quantify your worth allows you to make your boasts backed by facts, i.e. not unfounded.
- Let others brag about you. You can lure your friend or colleague to the “dark side” of boasting, who will report on your achievements for you. And you, in turn, can do the same for him - everyone will win, without being known as braggarts.
