Lesson Overview
1.10 – Identifying Your Current Default Style: Everyone leans passive, aggressive, or assertive by habit. Notice what you do when stress rises. Do you avoid, attack, or address the issue? Track your words, tone, and body language. Write down common triggers and typical reactions. Ask a trusted person what they notice. Look for patterns across home, school, and work. Choose one moment each day to try a new response. Replace guesses with clear requests. Awareness lets you shift from autopilot to choice.
