... Read moreในประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การใช้หลัก 4A ที่ได้แรงบันดาลใจจากงานวิจัยระดับโลกนั้นช่วยเปลี่ยนชีวิตได้อย่างน่าทึ่ง หลายครั้งผมเองก็เคยรู้สึกว่าไม่มั่นใจในตัวเอง เช่น เวลาต้องพูดหน้าห้องประชุมหรือแชร์ไอเดียใหม่ๆ แต่เมื่อได้นำเทคนิค ‘Care Less / Care More’ มาใช้ ผมเริ่มฝึกลิสต์สิ่งที่ไม่จำเป็นต้องกังวล และให้ความสำคัญกับสิ่งที่เป็นประโยชน์จริงๆ แทน ยิ่งช่วยลดความเครียดได้มาก ส่วนเทคนิค ‘Worry Zone’ ที่กำหนดเวลาไว้แค่ 10 นาทีให้บ่นหรือกังวล ถือว่าสุดยอด! เพราะช่วยฝึกให้จิตใจไม่วนอยู่กับปัญหาเกินจำเป็น พอครบเวลา ผมจะบังคับตัวเองให้เปลี่ยนความคิดเป็น “ฉันจะทำอะไรได้บ้าง” แทน ทำให้รู้สึกควบคุมตัวเองได้มากขึ้น อีกหนึ่งเทคนิคที่ชอบคือ ‘เชิดคาง / คาบปากกา’ ก่อนเข้าประชุมหรือพูดต่อหน้าคนเยอะๆ ซึ่งต้องบอกว่าการปรับท่าทางภายนอกส่งผลต่อความรู้สึกภายในจริงๆ รู้สึกมั่นใจขึ้นและลดอาการประหม่าได้ชัดเจน นอกจากนี้ การเปลี่ยนคำพูดจาก ‘ขอโทษ’ เป็น ‘ขอบคุณ’ ในบางสถานการณ์ยังช่วยเปลี่ยนพลังงานของเราให้เป็นบวกมากขึ้น เช่น แทนที่จะขอโทษที่ต้องขอคำชี้แนะ ก็เปลี่ยนเป็นขอบคุณที่ช่วยเตือนความสำคัญให้เราพัฒนาตัวเอง สุดท้าย ผมอยากแนะนำให้ทุกคนลองลดมาตรฐานความสมบูรณ์แบบลงบ้าง เช่น แทนที่จะรอจนรู้สึกพร้อมหรือเก่งพอค่อยลงมือ ทำเลย! เพราะการลงมือทำจริงคือกุญแจสำคัญที่ช่วยให้มั่นใจมากขึ้นเมื่อเห็นพัฒนาการของตนเอง เทคนิคและวิธีคิดเหล่านี้ไม่ได้ให้ผลทันทีเหมือนยายี่ห้อไหนๆ แต่ถ้าเข้าใจและเริ่มฝึกฝนอย่างจริงจัง จะช่วยสร้างความมั่นใจที่แท้จริงและยืนนานในทุกสถานการณ์ได้แน่นอนครับ
