The key to being able to practice respectful assertiveness skills is confidence.
Learning to control your negative thoughts is a fantastic skill that will save a lot of worry and help you enjoy your life more. If there is something you would like to do just do it. If you worry that you won’t be good enough you’ll never get to try things that would give you so much pleasure. It’s not how good the final result is its the enjoyment of just doing something you like.
Remember:
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”
Vincent Van Gogh
