One of the most remarkable things about recovery is personal power. One of our primary missions in life is to find, discover and elevate our own personal power. I came across an article in Forbes magazine by a person named Bonnie Marcus. I would highly suggest you read the article; it’s well worth the read. Bonnie lists 10 things one ought to do to create and grow their personal power and they are;
- Acknowledge and declare your ambition
- Replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations
- Advocate for yourself and others.
- Ask for help when you need it
- Speak up and share your opinions and ideas
- Acknowledge your fears
- Schedule quiet time
- Build a supportive network
- Maintain a growth mindset
- Practice self-care
