How Assertive Are You?

This week’s Challenge: This week, I will claim my power by being mindful about what I am allowing — and not allowing.

Avoiding being Aggressive (overuse): Once taking a stand moves from claiming one’s own power to imposing one’s will on others, being assertive has moved to being aggressive. There is a competitive flair — a win-lose mentality — an angry energy — to being aggressive. If you haven’t given any thought to another point of view, then it’s likely you’ve shifted into the aggressive zone. Take a few minutes to be curious about what another’s experience and point of view is, and let that inform how you move forward.
