Know your worth

We all have basic human rights:

• the right to choose

• the right to ‘be’

• the right to be respected

• the right to make mistakes

• the right to say ‘no’

• the right to ask for what we want

• the right to ask for what we need.

Understand your fears

It is often our fears that prevent us from developing assertive behaviour. What are yours? For example, they might be: ‘I will lose my friends’, ‘I will make a fool of myself’, ‘No one will like me any more’, ‘I will become irritating’, or ‘…………………………………… ’ (fill in your own).

Our fears are usually much larger than reality. Face them; they have a habit of shrinking.

Accept yourself for the way you are

It is very easy to put yourself down. We are our own worst critics. In the main, we are:

• what we are supposed to be

• where we are supposed to be

• doing what we are supposed to be doing.

Release all your disappointments and guilty feelings – forgive yourself. Everything that you have done and experienced has brought you to this point of change. Everything is to play for.

Decide to change – if you want to

In making the decision to change your behaviour, you may find it helpful to project forward in time and imagine how it would look, and feel, if you were in control of your communication. Compare this to how you feel now.
