To be assertive is to be confident , self assured and direct about one's feelings and thoughts.
In a world of so many complexities and distractions, you have to be deliberate on actions.
How to do that is to inculcate the habit of assertiveness , being confident without being aggressive, expressing your self esteem without hurting others feelings (deliberately)
Assertiveness is about communicating what we really want , how we want it without holding back.One may ask why you need to be assertive, after all I just want "live and let live", while this is totally valid , you cannot completely isolate yourself from the influence of others on your happiness. You are not an Island!!
Say no when you need to, say yes when you need to.
Here is a few of the reasons why you need to be assertive:
- Stress management
- Anger management
- Communicate effectively
- Improve coping skills
- Self-esteem boost
- Earns you respect
