COMMUNICATION:

Part of owning our power is learning to communicate clearly,
directly, and assertively. We don't have to beat around the
bush in our conversations to control the reactions of others.
We don't have to fix or take care of people with our words;
we can't expect others to take care of us with words either.
And we can respectfully listen to what others have to say.

Hinting at what we need doesn't work. Others can't read our
mind, and they're likely to resent our indirectness. The best
way to take responsibility for what we want is to ask for it
directly. And, we can insist on directness from others. If we
need to say no to a particular request, we can.

Acknowledging feelings such as disappointment or anger
directly, instead of making others guess at our feelings or
having our feelings come out in other ways, is part of
responsible communication. If we don't know what we want
to say, we can say that too.

We can ask for information and use words to forge a closer
connection, but we don't have to take people around the
block with our conversations. We can say what we want and
stop when we're done.
