This Is How I Reclaim My Power

I may have lost my power, but I know how to get it back.

Being assertive is the key. You will never go wrong with being assertive. Telling people politely what they need to hear is probably the best thing you can do. You do not have to accept everything that people offer you. You don’t have to please them to accept you. At first, I thought people would think that it is rude when you express yourself, but being assertive also protects you from negativity. You don’t have to…
