Assertiveness – Characteristic / Virtue of the Week

Be the change you wish to see in the world – make a difference.

Assertiveness

 

How to use this card:

Being mindful of a virtue each day will change your world and ours.

  • Read this card each morning.
  • At the end of each day take five minutes to reflect on your behaviour in regard to this card.
  • Acknowledge yourself for how you displayed this virtue, or if you had the opportunity to practice the virtue and didn’t, then ask yourself what you would do differently next time – use it as a learning.
  • You will find that over time you become much more in control of your feelings & emotions and grow emotionally, intellectually & spiritually stronger day by day.

Being kind costs nothing and it is worth so much it is priceless.

Some ways practice Assertiveness:

  • Be mindful that being assertive and being aggressive are two different things. You can combine them or you can separate them by using honesty and tactfulness while still speaking your truth.
  • Speak up when you feel the need to. Some people hid behind virtues of kindness, caring, detachment and respect (for others) because they don’t have the courage to be honest and assertive to speak up when they feel they want or need to.
  • Know your worth, be respectful of your needs also. When you share your views, with honesty and tact you provide others the opportunity to learn different perspectives.
