“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth – and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.” –Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Being Assertive (how to be assertive)

http://psychcentral.com/lib/5-tips-to-increase-your-assertiveness/2/
http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/ten_tips_for_being_assertive?Open
1. Make the decision to positively assert yourself. Commit to being assertive rather than passive or aggressive and start practising today.
2. Aim for open and honest communication. Remember to respect other people when you are sharing your feelings, wants, needs, beliefs or opinions.
3. Listen actively. Try to understand the other person’s point of view and don’t interrupt when they are explaining it to you.
4. Agree to disagree. Remember that having a different point of view doesn’t mean you are right and the other person is wrong.
5. Avoid guilt trips. Be honest and tell others how you feel or what you want without making accusations or making them feel guilty.
6. Stay calm. Breathe normally, look the person in the eye, keep your face relaxed and speak in a normal voice.
7. Take a problem-solving approach to conflict. Try to see the other person as your friend not your enemy.
8. Practise assertiveness. Talk in an assertive way in front of a mirror or with a friend. Pay attention to your body language as well as to the words you say.
9. Use ‘I’. Stick with statements that include ‘I’ in them such as ‘I think’ or ‘I feel’. Don’t use aggressive language such as ‘you always’ or ‘you never’.
10. Be patient. Being assertive is a skill that needs practice. Remember that you will sometimes do better at it than at other times, but you can always learn from your mistakes.

5 Limiting Beliefs That Sabotage Your Dreams:
Belief 1: It’s too difficult.
Belief 2: I have to become successful quickly.
Belief 3: Either I’m famous or I’m a failure.
You might never become a New York Times Best Seller or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Does that mean that any achievements short of those goals is a waste of your time?
Belief 4: It’s too late for me.
Belief 5: It’s too risky. I might fail.
You are right; you might fail. But here’s what you must ask yourself: Are you completely happy with your life right now? In your twilight years, when you look back, will you regret not trying hard enough?

Trying to fit everything in a single day
If the 'Everyday clause' is not working, try the 'alternate day clause'.
