Today I will be discussing a topic that I find not only interesting but important. Assertiveness is commonly confused with aggressiveness but assertiveness is important in emotional intelligence and plays an important role in the workplace. It allows us to create boundaries and be able to express ourselves confidently. I will discuss assertiveness, what it is, why it's important and how to become more assertive.

Assertiveness.

Picture this: You’re drowning in a sea of commitments, juggling work, family, and personal life. Your plate is overflowing, but you keep saying ‘yes’ to more. Sound familiar? We’ve all been there, my friend. The good news is that you can learn the art of saying ‘no’ without guilt and regain control of your life.

The ‘Yes’ Epidemic
Before we delve into the fine art of ‘no,’ let’s address the ‘yes’ epidemic. It’s a modern plague that we’ve all fallen victim to at some point.

Today I will be discussing a topic that I found very interesting, and I hope you do to, It is something I have started doing and I definitely feel the positive effects. Today I am discussing grounding at first, this may sound a little woo-woo. But the science behind earthing and grounding is compelling: The earth is abundant in free electrons (negatively charged) that when connected to the body can help neutralize free radicals, providing antioxidant and immune-boosting properties

Rubber is not conductive, but our bodies are!
