Again, take out your Stress Log and review your entries.

Is any of your stress related to how someone is treating you? If so, does this person know that their behavior is offensive to you?

Is any of your stress related to not setting good limits with others (e.g., by not saying "no" when you need to)?

With your red pen, mark any stressors that fall into this category. If you find more than a few of these stressors in your log, your stress level may be greatly reduced if you were more assertive in communicating your needs and desires.
