Assertive kindness can be confusing. Why do we have trouble combining those two words. See how you can benefit from being assertively kind and how to make that happen.
Hi Heather, Assertive kindness. That is a new concept for me and one that I like - a lot. Many of the reasons you listed are why I haven't pursued it sooner. It's time to give it a try.
You and I are from the same mold, Janice. It has taken me years to understand the benefits of assertive kindness.....and even longer to try it. It's a bit intimidating....but it works.
Based on what I've seen in your writing, you'll be on to this in no time!
Hi Janice. I know I already replied to your comment. But I got to thinking....and I wanted to thank you for your reply. Two people unsubscribed after this post went live yesterday and I was feeling a bit bummed 😞. I usually try to inject some humor into my posts....this was the first one where it was just serious content and I decided that maybe that was a bad idea.
Your reply was like a ray of sunshine 🌞. I've always felt that, if I could reach just one person with a post then it would be worthwhile. So thank you for taking the time to let me know it was useful for you. That means a lot! 💚
Hi Heather, I know the feeling of losing subscribers and am glad my comment brightened your day a bit. I see myself as a kind person but not very assertive as I mentioned previously. The notion that I could be both was empowering and I began practicing yesterday. Take care!
Thank you, Heather, for the great history lesson. I knew none of that. It was the perfect example to illustrate your theme this week. Nicely done.
