-Beware of rescuing irresponsible, needy people. Get help in ending inappropriate relationships and situations.
-Talk to yourself in nurturing and caring ways. Pat yourself on the back. Don't wait for someone else to tell you that you did well.
-Honor your need for time alone. Schedule time for fun and personally satisfying activities.
-Allow room for mistakes.
-Talk about your needs, desires and problems with a trusted friend or counselor. Let others help you for a change.
-Take time to discover your direction, purpose, and goals. Make choices based on your inner values rather than on external authorities.
-Remember that there is no one right way to live. What counts is that you are satisfied.
-Beware of excessive worrying. Don't spend too much time focusing on worst-case scenarios.
-Avoid taking on extra work. Learn to say NO!
-Get mad once in a while. Unleash pent-up resentment through writing, talking or hitting pillows. You may feel guilty but you may also find it refreshing.
-Do not underestimate yourself and your accomplishments. Talk about them.
-Appreciate your strengths--being realistic, practical, conscientious, sensitive, sympathetic, loyal, friendly, super-dependable, and persevering.
