Well, I’ve always been interested in astrology, especially when it comes to the Pisces women around me. One of my close friends is a Pisces woman, and she had some personality traits that she wasn’t happy with, like being overly sensitive and a bit moody. So, we decided to work on changing those bad traits together.
Step 1: Self – awareness
First things first, we had to make her aware of these traits. We sat down one afternoon, and I gently pointed out some situations where her sensitivity and moodiness had caused some small problems. It wasn’t easy at first, as she got a bit defensive. But I told her that I was just trying to help. We also made a list of these traits on a piece of paper. This way, she could see them clearly and start to think about how they affected her life.
Step 2: Set small goals
After that, we set some small goals. For example, instead of getting overly emotional at every little thing, she aimed to take a deep breath and count to ten before reacting. We started with just one situation a day. She would try to control her emotions when something minor annoyed her. It was like a little game for her. And every time she succeeded, she would give herself a small reward, like watching an episode of her favorite show.
Step 3: Practice positive self – talk
Another thing we did was practice positive self – talk. Every morning, she would stand in front of the mirror and say some positive things about herself. Like “I am strong, I can control my emotions.” It sounded a bit cheesy at first, but she said it actually made her feel better. She started to believe in herself more and more.
Step 4: Seek support from friends
We also involved our other friends. We told them about what she was trying to do, and they agreed to give her a little nudge when they saw her slipping back into her old ways. For instance, if she started to get really moody during a group hang – out, a friend would say something like “Hey, remember your goal!” It was a friendly reminder that helped her stay on track.
Step 5: Keep a journal
She also kept a journal. Every night, she would write down what happened during the day, how she reacted, and what she could do better next time. This helped her reflect on her progress. She could see patterns in her behavior and figure out what triggered her bad traits. For example, she noticed that she was more likely to be moody when she was tired, so she started to make sure she got enough sleep.
After a few months of doing all these things, I could really see a change in her. She was less sensitive and her mood swings were much less frequent. She was happier, and our friendship also got stronger. It just goes to show that with some effort and the right approach, anyone can change their bad personality traits, even a Pisces woman!
