  في هذه الحلقة من يواب نناقش كيفية وضع أهداف واقعية والالتزام بها دون مبالغة في لوم الذات. فالضغط القاسي على النفس قد يمنح دفعة مؤقتة، لكنه على المدى البعيد يستنزف الطاقة الذهنية ويؤثر في العلاقات وفي جودة الحياة. ستخرج من هذه الحلقة بثلاث خطوات عملية: هدف صغير واقعي يمكنك إنجازه خلال يوم أو يومين ثم تطويره تدريجيًا. قاعدة “لا يومين متتاليين” لتفادي الانقطاع والدخول في دوامة الإحباط. الفصل بين تقييم الذات وتقييم النظام: “لم أنجح في الأسلوب” لا تعني “أنا فاشل”. سؤال الحلقة: ما الهدف الذي وضعته لنفسك وشعرت بضغط كبير تجاهه؟ وهل التحدّي فيك أنت أم في النظام الذي تعمل وفقه؟ إذا كنت تعرف شخصًا يبالغ في تأنيب نفسه عند التعثر، شارك معه هذه الحلقة.   Follow Saeed Al-Ghafri: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saeedalghafri/ 🎧 Find Yuwab Podcast on: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/yuwabconsulting/?hl=en Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2vfcZCdwnXkiMdEvNVF9HH Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/yuwab-%D9%8A%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A8/id1801036453 #يواب #سعيد_الغافري #تطوير_الذات #الأهداف #الانضباط #الصحة_النفسية    

Episode Summary Host Saeed Alghafri explores the exhausting habit of over-explaining and over-justifying small decisions, which often stems from low self-value and a need for validation. Through personal stories—like a colleague's emotional presentations and a CEO losing opportunities to endless consulting he reveals how this "survival strategy" drains energy and blocks healing.  Saeed shares three practical healings to build self-trust, set concise boundaries, and embrace discomfort for stronger leadership and personal growth. Key Takeaways Over-explaining tiny things signals you don't value yourself enough—stop turning "no" into a full essay. Clarity is one sentence; justification is emotional defense—drop the latter to reclaim power. Stories show: Less explaining leads to more respect, faster decisions, and seized opportunities. Embrace discomfort: Not everyone will understand your boundaries, and that's normal—leaders are paid to decide. Trust yourself: Journal doubts with "Would I choose this if no one agreed?" Healing starts inward, not from others' approval. Awareness first: Reflect on who/what triggers your over-justifying, then act with concise honesty. Timestamps 1:03 - Recall over-explaining a small action 2:14 - Why it feels like healing but exhausts you 3:35 - It becomes automatic—examples of "no" essays 7:40 - Practical example: Saying no to a colleague 10:04 - Story 1: Colleague's emotional presentations 14:13 - Story 2: CEO over-consulting on opportunities 17:15 - Healing 1: Clarity vs. justification 19:03 - Healing 2: Get comfortable with discomfort 20:22 - Healing 3: Trust yourself, don't rush reactions 21:30 - Reflection questions & awareness action You owe no one an explanation for your healing, boundaries, or growth—stop defending to those who won't understand.

Episode Summary Host Saeed Al Ghafri tackles why leaders get paralyzed by too many conflicting opinions, sharing real stories of lost opportunities (like a perfect showroom and a solid investment deal) and 4 practical steps to sharpen judgment, filter noise, and make decisive calls under pressure. Perfect for leaders tired of endless meetings and stalled momentum.   Key Takeaways More opinions often create confusion and kill decision ownership—leaders are paid to judge and act fast. Filter advice strategically: Focus on relevant experts, not loudest voices or family repeat-consults. Structure asks clearly (e.g., "What risks? How does success look?") to get quality input, not noise. Don't delay: Own the call, seek quick alignment if needed, then review and adjust—no ego in pivots.  Timestamps 1:16 - Leadership trap: Too many opinions, no judgment 2:01 - More voices don't always mean better decisions 3:32 - Endless inputs create confusion, kill ownership 6:47 - Story 1: Perfect showroom lost to over-consulting 9:58 - Story 2: 99% solid investment ruined by outsider BS 12:29 - Tip 1: Filter opinions strategically 15:51 - Tip 4: Don't delay—make the call, own it Leaders aren't defined by voices heard, but decisions owned.

Winning feels great but mastering what comes next is what defines lasting success.
