  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.

Episode Summary Your first big win feels incredible but it can also be the most dangerous moment in your journey. In this episode, Saeed Alghafri breaks down how early success can quietly lead to complacency, slowing momentum and costing future opportunities. Through personal stories, coaching experiences, and real-world examples, he explains why discipline, reflection, and preparation matter most after you win. This episode is a reminder that success isn’t a finish line it’s a checkpoint. How you respond to your first win determines whether you grow, stall, or fall behind. Key Takeaways Your first big win is a crossroads, not a destination Success can create false confidence and blind spots Complacency often hides behind celebration and validation What got you here won’t automatically take you forward Celebrate wins—but with discipline and intention Audit habits and processes, not just results Competition accelerates when you stand still Every win should become a springboard, not a landing pad Reflection, feedback, and communication prevent stagnation Timestamps 02:36 – Why your first big win can be the most dangerous moment 03:56 – Complacency explained: standing on the edge of a cliff 07:41 – Personal startup story: confidence vs reality 10:32 – Coaching story: promotion, early win, and collapse 13:20 – The truth: discipline must increase after success 13:38 – Three rules after your first big win 14:19 – Auditing habits, technology shifts, and blind spots 15:39 – Preparing for the next challenge 16:06 – Practical tools: journaling, feedback, communication 17:51 – Reflection questions for your own journey 18:45 – Why your first win isn’t the peak—it’s the climb Your first big win isn’t proof that you’ve arrived its proof that the real work begins. Celebrate wisely, stay disciplined, and keep evolving. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who might be standing at their own crossroads. Winning feels great but mastering what comes next is what defines lasting success.
