The last four posts have talked about communication styles and the healthiest position of "I am important and so are you." In other words, our ability to be assertive and to be able to respect both ourselves and others when it comes to our needs, our opinions and our boundaries. Here are three quotes to help us think about assertiveness:

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives - Tony Robbins

“When you tolerate disrespectful people you disrespect yourself.” - Wayne Gerard Trotman

“Be calm; yet assertive. Be meek; yet courageous. Be gentle; yet bold.Be kind; yet strong.” -  Charles F Glassman

The West Champlain Family Health Team is grateful to the Indigenous Health Circle (which works in collaboration with The Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn and the Ottawa Valley Ontario Health Team) for sharing a meaningful land acknowledgement both in English and Omámíwininímowin (the Algonquin Anishinábe language), which is the basis of our own.
