Intimidation

Intimidation – the act of intimidating a weaker person to make them do something.

Why do we intimidate others?

People try to intimidate others for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons people choose to intimidate others is for dominance. They want to show others that they are more powerful.

Why do we allow ourselves to be intimidated?

It could be due to one of the following factors; status, low self esteem, perception or depression.

Conclusion; Not comfortable with one’s self.

I used to be intimidated by good looking, clever or high ranked people until I changed my view, which is that we as humans are all meant to shine with what we have been given. Good looking, clever or high ranked people work just as hard as others. We have to realize, as average people that we are the ones that put these people on a pedestal, and rank ourselves as lower level. Change that by being self confident and comfortable in your own shoes. I AM THE MOST! AMAZING PERSON I KNOW!!

We here at PierrePressure strive to intimidate the “Peer” in a positive way by means of,  guidance through  our challenges, and examples set by the PierrePressure readers. 

Although intimidation will always be part of our lives, it’s still in our discretion to be influenced in a negative manner. No matter who or what you are, YOU were created by God as a human being to rule over His creation. RULE does not mean to intimidate those who are weaker in spirit and mental capacity. “RULE - control of or dominion over an area or people” and this is where you as an individual must set the example and not succumb to intimidation.  Its your duty and most of all........your right!

“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.” ― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

In life we will often face difficult challenges and intimidating circumstances.

I offer you the advice a friend gave me.

We can't control the actions of others but you can control how you react to them. An action can only be intimidating when you choose to be intimidated.

PierrePressure Dare you to stand against intimidation and lead by example.  Do what the “Peer” fail to do. 

Stand against intimidation

Set the Example

Set The Example

Set the Example

John 13:15

'I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you.'

- The Lord has set an example for us as to how we should live our lives.
- The life you live should be a demonstration of your faith in God.
- Our lives are a book that others can read.
- In the end, the example we exhibit can touch the lives of others.

LORD, help me to follow the example You have set for me and cause my life to touch the lives of others as a result. Amen.

There are many people one influences. The influence can be good or it can be bad.

If one conducts his life to keep these recommendations, one is setting a good example.

Others around one cannot help but be influenced by this, no matter what they say.

Anyone trying to discourage you is trying to do so because they factually mean you harm or are seeking to serve their own ends. Down deep, they will respect you.

Your own survival chances will be bettered in the long run since others, influenced, will become less of a threat. There are other benefits.

Don’t discount the effect you can achieve on others simply by mentioning these things and setting a good example in your own right.

The way to happiness

requires that one set a good

example for others.

Be conscious for people who call themselves your friends with phony intentions. 

Self Love

Self Love

Self Love

Why do I need to fit in, be part of a group or the need to draw attraction?

Every human has the need to belong, to be appreciated and the most important.........to be loved. If that need is not filled or approached at the wrong time with the wrong influences, it will suck it up like water in a sponge just to fill that need.

   

Love

Love is the substitute for every one of these desires. And the greater love of all is the love for one self.  When you change the way you think about yourself, your life will change. Yung people who feel good about themselves are more likely to fall between the cracks in society and are more resilient in creating positive futures for them. 

Promote

The question though is how to promote self love in the younger generation? Self love is like a child's shield against the challenges of the world. Kids who know their strengths and weaknesses and feel good about themselves seem to have an easier time handling conflicts and resisting negative pressures. They tend to smile more readily and enjoy life. These kids are realistic and generally optimistic.

We all have a mental picture of who we are and how we look. We develop this picture over time, starting when we're very young. The term self-image is used to refer to a person's mental picture of himself or herself. A lot of our self-image is based on interactions we have with other people and our life experiences. This mental picture (our self-image) contributes to our Self Love. 

The best practical way to promote Self Love is to make one person feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others. 

Valued - “held in great esteem for admirable qualities especially of an intrinsic nature”

Promote the good quality in your child; make sure that he/she knows what that quality is and that they are appreciated for it. 

Loved – “A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness”

Show them that you really care, build on that relationship as a fortress for safety. 

Self Love

Accepted – “generally approved; widely regarded as normal, right, etc”

Let them know that they are approved and regarded as normal although they make mistakes. And that you set the standard of approval, not their friends. 

Thought well of by others

By creating and fostering the tree elements above, the “Thought well of by others” will take place spontaneously.  And thus will then by its turn promote Self Love and nurture all the feelings to fulfilment. 

Self Love

Conclusion

No matter who you are, or where you’re from, or how you look, YOU ARE! Entitled to be Valued, Loved, Accepted and Thought well of by others. Do not belief that you need to participate in under duress events just to be accepted. Love yourself for what you are and build on your good qualities, change the concept of “Simply because everyone else is doing it” to........everyone else is doing because I am doing it. 

You are awesome for GOD don’t make no junk.   

ps: YOU!! must be the most amazing person you know.              

Tenacity

Tenacity means to stick with something even when the going gets tough. Never give up. Never surrender! Tenacity all so means the quality or state of being.

PEER PRESSURE
Definition

Social pressure by members of one's peer group to take a certain action, adopt certain values, or otherwise conform in order to be accepted.

Peer pressure is a social influence exerted by others on an individual. The pressure is exerted in order to get someone to act or believe in a similar way. The peer pressure is acted out by a peer group against others, often be in an “everybody’s doing it” kind of way.

Reverse of Peer Pressure

Independence, self-will, self-dependence, self-reliance. In short it’s called PIERRE PRESSURE

SO WHAT IS MY BLOG "PIERREPRESSURE" ALL ABOUT?

Objective:

To guarantee a sense of security against being the outcast for not participating in under duress events. 

To change the element of “Peer Pressure” to “My Pressure” by giving one the ability to influence the “Peer” in a positive sense. Activating the need for Independence, self-will, self-dependence and self-reliance.

Target:

To illustrate the opposite of “Peer Pressure” by doing amazing things and influencing the “Peer” to a positive extend thru my actions.  

Pierre Pressure

My hope is that this Blog will change the concept of “Simply because everyone else is doing it” to........everyone else is doing because I am doing it.

IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS!

Every day we are faced with risks, whether they are small or large we will encounter them.  The key to being successful is taking those risks that may seem scary, however once you run with a risk it could end up being the best decision you have ever made.  Rockefeller was a master at taking risks, he did not believe in the concept of fear.  Instead when he was faced with a risk or a decision he tackled it head on and that is how he became the vicious business man that each student learns about in his/her history class.  Take a risk every day.  By doing this, you will get more comfortable taking bigger and bigger risks.  Start out small.  Thinking about it will not get you anywhere, go do it!
