This month’s focus on being assertive has brought some great questions about the line between assertiveness and aggressiveness, and requests for tips. 
As a reminder, assertiveness involves honoring yourself while respecting others. You see yourself as the same as others, not less than or more than. Here are some examples that might help: - See yourself as important as others around you
- Ask for what you want, don’t assume others know what you want.
- Allow yourself to receive what you’ve asked for
- Listen to others with the aim of respecting them
- Avoid sacrificing yourself for the sake of keeping peace
- Be clear in your intentions, while being respectful
- Recognize that you can’t make everyone happy, and that they need to be responsible for their feelings, not you
- Set boundaries for yourself, and communicate them to others, when appropriate
- Trust your intuition – yep – THAT’s a biggy!
