We've all heard the phrase "retreat is advance." In fact, sometimes, when you back down, you protect your own rights and interests.
It's good for adults to be strategic and take the initiative to back off at some point.
01 When you don't have good energy, take the initiative to retreat
Adults often have a lot of responsibilities. We have exhausted ourselves in order to take on these responsibilities.
Sometimes, when you feel depleted, you have to take the initiative to back off and adjust yourself.
Otherwise, it will bury a great hidden danger to the body.
For example, a person who suffers from insomnia every day is particularly tired during the day.
At this time, he shouldn't go up the intensity and continue to work hard.
It's about adjusting yourself and getting yourself back into a normal rhythm.
Otherwise, his physical health and mental health may reach a critical point and eventually collapse.
Adults need to know how to manage their energy. Know that when you are tired, take a step back and adjust yourself.
Otherwise, it is irresponsible for one's own health. Very bad.
02 When your industry is not good, take a step back
Many of us make money, depending on the state of the industry. If the industry is good, most people can get a piece of the pie.
On the contrary, when the industry is in a recession, we must learn to retreat.
It might be a good idea to look elsewhere and learn some new skills.
For example, if your industry is in an explosive period now, then you can earn a lot of money if you work hard.
But if your industry goes downhill, even if you work harder than before, your earnings may not be ideal.
At this stage, instead of overdrawing yourself, it is better to recuperate, or learn new things to increase your competitiveness.
Some people don't understand this, and they always let themselves work hard in vain, and the results are not good enough, which is a pity.
It's better to take a step back and find a new direction, which is better for yourself.
03 For some decisions, take a step back
There are many moments in our lives where we need to make decisions. And these decisions often have to affect the subsequent progress.
Therefore, when making a decision, it is important to be sober and rational.
If you feel hesitant to make a decision, then be sure to back off.
Don't make a decision right now.
For example, you are hesitant to borrow money from a friend. Well, don't say yes right away.
And to follow-up, think calmly, and then decide.
When you hesitate about a certain relationship or an opportunity, don't move forward.
Instead, put it aside and wait until you have more information before thinking about it.
There are some decisions in life that are made under intense pressure.
But in fact, the follow-up will be regretted.
At this moment, what you need is to hesitate and retreat, not to rush forward.
04 Take the responsibility you can't bear, and step back
The most important thing for adults is to be self-aware.
Know what you can do and what you can't.
Admitting one's "incompetence" is not a big deal. On the contrary, it can save a lot of trouble.
The reason why some people are too tired is because they force themselves too hard and let themselves bear everything. Actually, I can't do it.
For example, one of your relatives asks you to take on a large amount of monetary responsibility to take care of someone who can't be beaten.
Actually, it's not your responsibility.
What you need is to go back, not forward.
People live and know what things belong to others. What is your own is very important.
Don't take responsibility for what you can't bear. Going back is a wise choice.
