How To Be Approachable

How to be approachable

Being approachable is an important characteristic that can improve your personal and professional life. Here are some suggestions on how to cultivate and sustain these quality:

Smiling can increase approachability and friendliness. It creates a pleasant environment and encourages others to interact with you.

Open Body Language: Avoid crossing your arms or standing with your hands in your pockets since they can make you appear closed off. Instead, use open body language by facing people squarely, creating eye contact (this can be really hard though), and having your arms relaxed at your sides.

Active listening demonstrates a real interest in what others have to say. Nodding, and asking follow-up questions show that you value their input and promote additional conversation. I always try to listen attentively It makes people feel heard especially when you also ask questions when they tell a story. As someone who talks a lot I also love listening

Be approachable. Physically: Position yourself in situations where people can easily approach you. Do not isolate yourself in a corner or bury your face in your phone. Initiate Conversation: Take the initiative to engage in conversations with people. This might be as easy as a polite greeting or a question about their day. Small gestures can go a long way toward making others feel comfortable approaching you. This is so important not all the time people will want to approach you because they might be shy or wary, so if you're interested in making a conversation with someone, sometimes you just need to get up and go for it. Approachability in Communication: When communicating, be aware of your tone and body language. Strive to express warmth and openness rather than being combative or dismissive.

I hope this helps and you feel more inclined to approach people and others see you as approachable

what to do when you feel overwhelmed or oversaturated

As we continue into the year we have a lot of goals and a lot of things we would like to achieve and in the process of achieving them we might feel overwhelmed or oversaturated here are a few things that help me when I feel overwhelmed or oversaturated

💭 take a break (cue take a break from Hamilton) — get away from the circumstance or task that is making you feel overwhelmed. take a quick break to reset your mind and refresh. a few minutes of deep breathing, stretching, watching an episode of your favourite series or going for a stroll can be beneficial. I am someone who, in some ways, overwhelms myself. what I mean by this is that I have work divided by certain days, but I try to do everything at once because I tell myself that if I do it now, I'll have a lot of free time later - I don't end up having free time and I just overwhelm myself to work, and taking a break between everything helps.

💭 practice mindfulness — mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation, can help you calm your mind and relieve stress. Concentrate on the current moment and let go of concerns about the past and future.

💭 set boundaries — If you're already feeling overloaded, learn to say no to new obligations or tasks. Set boundaries to safeguard your time and energy, and don't be hesitant to delegate chores or request assistance when necessary.

💭 prioritize tasks — Identify the most important things that require your immediate attention and work on them first. Break down larger jobs into smaller, more manageable steps and complete them one at a time.

💭 limit stimuli — If you're feeling overwhelmed by information or stimuli, make efforts to reduce your exposure. This could include turning off notifications on your phone or computer, unsubscribing from unneeded emails or newsletters, or taking a brief break from social media or news intake.

💭 practice self-care — Take care of your physical and mental health by participating in activities that nourish and renew you. This could involve getting adequate sleep, eating good meals, exercising frequently, spending time with loved ones, or engaging in enjoyable hobbies and activities.

💭 seek support — Seek encouragement and support from friends, family, or trustworthy colleagues. Sometimes simply talking to someone about how you're feeling will make you feel less overwhelmed.

💭 seek professional help — If feelings of overwhelm continue or have a substantial impact on your daily functioning, consider obtaining help from a mental health professional, such as a therapist or counsellor. They can teach methods and coping mechanisms to assist you to better handle stress and overwhelm.

Remember that it is normal to feel overwhelmed from time to time, especially when dealing with difficult events or hectic seasons in life. Be gentle to yourself, and remember that you can get through challenging situations with resilience and support.
