Here are some of those baby steps

to increase your personal power...

 Treat yourself at least as well

as you’d treat anyone else. If you

catch yourself thinking things

about yourself like “I can’t do

anything right”, “I’m just a waste

of oxygen”, “I’m ugly”, “I’ll never

accomplish that”, or “I suck”, go

to a mirror. Imagine that your

reflection is another person, and

imagine saying each of these

things to the other person.

“You never do anything right.”

“You’re just a waste of oxygen.”

“You’re ugly.” “You’ll never

accomplish that.” “You suck.” If

these statements would be mean

and abusive if you said them to

someone else, and if you wouldn’t

be okay with someone else saying

them to you, then why are you

okay with you saying them to you?

Each time you say mean or

negative things about yourself,

you decrease your personal power,

because some part of you believes

what you say. Treating yourself at

least as well as you’d treat anyone

else is a good first step toward

reclaiming that power.

It’s something that you can

learn and practice. There is no

gaping chasm between you

and any world-changer you

admire; you can do anything

they have done. Begin with a

bunch of little baby steps, and

you’ll get there.
