Saying what you mean and meaning what you say is going to minimize any misunderstandings and miscommunications making your life much easier to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Expressing yourself more effectively is going to reduce stress and propel your career because you are a person that is going to get done what you say you will, when you will, and when it is out of your grasp you will let others know. The stress is gone from your life, no more wondering about ‘how am I going to get this done’.
Becoming more assertive in your career and in your job can help you achieve more, to be in a leadership position because you are no longer a follower – you become a doer, a doer of what you say.
Practice one new assertive sentence each day until you have made it a real habit to say what you mean and mean what you say when it is said. After a few days, the process is easier than ever and your passiveness will be left behind. Make sure your thoughts, feelings, ideas, and techniques are heard by expressing yourself with assertiveness.

Nationally syndicated daytime show wants to help you stand up for yourself. Does this sound familiar? You keep going back to the same hair dresser even though you aren’t happy with the work just to avoid a confrontation. You get your food in a restaurant and it isn’t right but instead of sending it back you just accept it. Are you a people pleaser? If any of these scenarios apply to you we would like to hear from you.

| Sounds great but watch out about overdoing it! My friend thought she would begin being assestive, but ended up being so obnoxious that she lost her family and friends because in attempting to not be a doormat anymore she ended up hurting people and completely ruining relationships. She became selfish, just looking out for herself and the sweet person who was my life-long friend wasn't there any more. She wanted to keep from being a doormat and instead of looking for other friends other than the losers she had been seeing recently she was rude, mean, hurtful and obnoxious to everyone and lost everything. She is smart and used to be really nice and she was just hanging out with people, especially her new roomate who made her feel awful about herself. I hope she gets a clue because I don't like her actions lately. I just wish these articles would also warn people not to overdo it. |
