NO- MAKES LIFE EASIER -ASSERTIVE

On assertiveness, one thing  to teach is the "rights" that people have to understand and claim if they're ever going to be effectively assertive.  Those rights include such thing as:

•       The right to ask for what you want,

•       The right to make an honest mistake,

•       The right to speak your opinion,

•       The right to change your mind,

•       The right to ask questions, and

•       The right to have time alone when you need it.

Inability - -Some people just plain lack the skill to set boundaries. You may be aware of the fact that you need to do it but don't know how to do it. 

As the quote for the week says, "No" is a complete sentence."  It's also a very powerful sentence that establishes boundaries and allows relationships to flourish. Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love who might get angry if you express your true feelings. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behaviors lead to increased respect from others, their willingness to see you as a person who respects him/herself, a worthwhile person, and a more love-able person!

Find out that your nature is not assertive if you have belowe symptoms’;-

1. Depression -- Anger  turned inward, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life.

2. Resentment -- Anger at others for manipulating or taking advantage of you.

3. Frustration -- Why did I allow that to happen?

4. Temper/violence -- If you can't express anger appropriately, it may build up.(sources)
