Is an attitude of mind with an accompanying set of beliefs about yourself and the world around you.
It is not just using a certain set of communication skills or behaviors.
When you have the belief that you are equal to every other person, not better or worse, you can communicate from a position of equality.
Five tips to remain assertive so you can act in a way that is effective and respectful to yourself and to others.
Breathe By being calmer, what you say next will then sound more assertive.Think before you react Give the other areas of your brain a chance to catch up with what is actually happening, rather than what you think may be happening.
Talk to yourself Tell yourself you are capable and strong.
Mind your language The language of aggression is insulting, bossy and argumentative, sometimes in subtle ways. Patronizing terms can be insulting.
Stay aware of your whole body When you know you need to look assertive, consciously limit your hand movements to soft, flowing gestures that support your words. Look people in the eye, especially when they are talking to you.
