Organise your tasks in order of priority and the amount of time required to accomplish them: things that can be done quickly should be done sooner; aim for most important and fastest to do, combined.
Don’t let your big projects overwhelm you: break them out into bite-sized pieces, where you define each smaller task clearly enough for you to start on.
Don’t wait for someone to recognise what you need: to perform to your full potential, your needs must be met. Find ways to get your needs met without sacrificing others’ needs in the process.
Recognise your rights and protect them. Believe you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity at all times. Stop apologising for everything.

Understand that your rights, thoughts, feelings, needs and desires are just as important as everyone else’s – but remember they are not more important than anyone else’s.
The reactions you have to others gives you more information about yourself than about them – what you do and don’t accept about yourself.
Originality is beautiful. Big brown eyes, green eyes, blue eyes alike. Your natural skin tone is beautiful. Your hair color and your smile. Your voice, your laugh, and your personality. You are truly beautiful just the way you are!
