Meditation for Assertiveness

Assertive Communication

Do you have trouble saying no, even when you really want to?
Do you feel like people take advantage of you?
Do you have trouble regulating your emotions?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, it may be helpful to learn about assertive communication.
Assertiveness is the ability to honestly express your opinions, feelings, attitudes, and rights, without undue anxiety, in a way that doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

How to become more assertive
• Use assertive body language
• Use “I” statements (“I would like to express how I feel without interruption” instead of “You’re always interrupting me”).
• Use facts, not judgements. Use clear and specific language.
(Assertiveness – Vivian Barnette 2000)
