One technique involves monitoring and witnessing the
passive and aggressive voices or feelings inside us, while creating some
detachment from them. We can't always dismiss these voices or feelings; they
have a life of their own. It's okay to listen to them and acknowledge their
presence. Yet we don't want them to be too loud. As mentioned, we regulate them
and keep them in their place as our authentic self emerges as the true
representative of our well-being.
Through their empowerment, women can greatly improve
the quality of our institutions. The world desperately needs leaders with true
power, meaning people who know how to practice assertiveness and healthy
aggression while being able to avoid taking offense, holding grudges, and practicing
petty vindictiveness.
