Get respect you deserve

"When was the last time you stood up for yourself?"

Think about it. When was the last time you set your foot down in an "I am important and I value myself" kind of way?

We all have a lot going on. Issues at work can seem hopeless; family and household demands zap your energy; hopes and dreams are on your to do list....

But, the truth is, if you don't speak up for yourself, who will?

You have as much a right to things like health, happiness and respect as anyone else. Stand up for what you need; exercise your boundaries.

You own it to yourself to speak up. It's all part of becoming your best, and working your way toward a fulfilled, happier you.

Today's affirmation: I speak up for my needs.
