Don’t Act Like Prey! Be Assertive (13)

Assertive communication is necessary for authentic relationships.

Assertive communications starts with respecting your own thoughts and feelings.  Once you truly respect your right to have those thoughts and feelings, it becomes easier to share them with others.

If you remember that others have the same rights you do, and respect those rights, it becomes easier to communicate without becoming aggressive.

Remember to listen and as well as to speak!
