ASSERTIVENESS is the Healthy Habit for the next two weeks. Being assertive is a communication style in which a person stands up for their own needs and wants, while also taking into consideration the needs and wants of others.
An assertive person:
- Clearly states their needs and wants in a respectful manner
- Uses eye contact
- Listens to others
- Express their thoughts and feelings calmly
- Shows confident body language
- Says no when they need to and offers to help find an alternative solution
