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.
