You're stronger than you realize!

Today's intention is to recognize your own strength. Remember some of the times that you have been able to step up and say no, or walk away. Remembering these things helps us to realize that we can face the scary things and survive.

To bring awareness to your own actions - understanding that you have the power to control your own life - without having to convince or coerce others, or control how they live their life in order for your life to be the way you want.

You do have power to do things your way - It can be easy to forget that sometimes.

In focusing on what you can do to fix the things that bother you, and letting go of the idea that someone else has to make it better, you take back your strength and autonomy - which creates a long lasting sense of pride in yourself and sense of accomplishment.

In doing things your own way, you can still ask for things that you want, and it will come across as less demanding than if you are always asking because you need something. I know this has been hard for me - I didn't feel worthy of wanting things, so I twisted them into needs. And it just made me feel guilty, and made them feel pressured.

Having the inner strength to know you can take care of your own needs - and authentically ask for your wants? Now that's powerful! You do have the strength.
