Whatever it is you&#39;re doing, it can&#39;t be bad enough to warrant the five letter word for&nbsp;remorse (sorry). Just in&nbsp;case you&#39;re unsure when the right time and place for skipping the I&#39;m sorry&nbsp;spiel is, here are four examples.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Having high expectations<\/strong><br \/>\nNever ever say you&#39;re sorry for holding yourself and your colleagues to a high standard. Being passionate about your work is something to be proud&nbsp;of. The same goes for your employers and colleagues. If you&nbsp;offend someone when you ask him or her to complete expected tasks, it&#39;s by no means your fault.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Not replying to an email in minutes<\/strong><br \/>\nIn any given day, you&#39;ll be bombarded with emails, texts, phone calls and a number of other distractions. Don&#39;t feel pressured to answer them immediately. If someone reaches out to you asking why you haven&#39;t replied to an email that he or she sent out 20 minutes ago, don&#39;t apologize. There&#39;s no need to be sorry for being busy at work, explained The Business Woman Media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Taking a moment to yourself<\/strong><br \/>\nDon&#39;t forget to be a person in the midst of your chaotic day. If nothing else, you deserve a mere five minutes of solitude without interruption. All Women&#39;s Talk magazine explained that <a href=\"http:\/\/allwomenstalk.com\/reasons-why-alone-time-is-important\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">alone time is important for your health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, a little you&nbsp;time is an opportunity to think and plan your next move. Sometimes all you need is five minutes of silence to come up with a creative approach to problem solving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Asking for something&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\nTime Magazine contributor Jessica Bennett explained that sorry&nbsp;is often used to <a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/2895799\/im-sorry-pantene-shinestrong\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">soften the blow<\/a> of asking for something. In no way should a woman feel uncomfortable for asking for something, for example a raise or promotion. It&#39;s time to stop apologizing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attention women everywhere: stop apologizing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":8747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1893],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8746"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.123print.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
