Make sure that you prepare what you are going to say so you are not going to be put on the spot! Preparing ahead allows you to stay strong.

Assertive = strong, confident, and clear. Aggressive = poor body language, loud or angry tone, and an "attacking" behavior. #SayNo

[HealthyBrainCampaign @HealthyBrainAPP]

When saying no, be ASSERTIVE not AGGRESSIVE. Be confident in your answer. Use body language. Make eye contact with the person and say "No."
