be more assertive

not doing so good on this one, barely surviving at the moment and don’t have the energy to make decisions or to really care about anything. Very unlike me, hopefully will get my zest and enthusiasm back soon.

mentor been really good with this, has let me pretty much get everything off my chest the last few sessions, now feel I have taken control back over my life and feeling much more settled. Just hope it lasts now!

had a good session with my mentor. was quite assertive with relatives which was hard but great.

took the initiative and spoke to someone I have found hard to deal with recently. Was great, cleared the air, and think we will get on great now.

practiced my interviewing techniques today, was great to use formal stuff as a spring board for my own interests.

getting much better at this, time on a warship recently has also helped.

definitely getting better about this, especially as i worry less about how people might respond or what they will think of me.

sneaking into doctors offices today and interacting..great for learning to be assertive.

sent some more to the point emails today, hopefully getting more assertive rather than being polite all the time!

another punch in the head from the med school again today. have to be assertive with myself and keep on fighting and progressing as i want to, without being brought down to their negativity and can’t do attitude. so important to stay strong, remind myself of my goals, and to spend as much time as possible in the company of normal like minded people!
