CHAPTER 1

1.

Trust yourself. You know what you want and need.

2.

Put yourself first. You can't be anything for anybody else unless you take care of yourself.

3.

Let your feelings be known. They are important.

4.

Express your opinions. It's good to hear yourself talk.

5.

Value your thinking. You do it well.

6.

Take the time and space you need—even if other people are wanting something from you.

7.

8.
