Wake up and decide that you are in charge and
not the weather, your boss, the children or the government.
Remind yourself of all the areas in your life that you do
have some say in and some control over.
I'm not asking you to ignore what's in your
life that you may have to turn over to a Higher Power or accept
as is. Just don't linger on all the ways that you don't have
control. That's defeating behavior and won't serve you.
Instead, list or talk over with others about
the ways that you rule. Not by being bossy but by taking a
stand and making a decision. Do you know how many decisions
that you make in just one day? Mind boggling!
Applaud those decisions and
recognize their power even if they seem trivial. To acknowledge
that you're in charge in more ways than you thought about
before is self-empowering.
