Finding Your
Powerful Place

 10 golden rules for
every busy woman:

1) I am not on call to all of the people all of the time.

2) I have needs of my own which might not be the same
as my friends, family or colleagues.
3) I don’t have to say yes to every request I get.
4) I don’t have to carry on doing something just because
I’ve always done it.
5) Time spent relaxing is time well spent.
6) There is no such thing as a perfect wife, perfect mother
or perfect child.
7) Time spent feeling guilty could be spent doing more
enjoyable things.
8) I shouldn’t always do it for them if they are capable of
doing it for themselves.
9) I should give myself the same care and consideration
that I give to others.
10) I should remember at all times, especially in the face
of criticism, difficulties and anxiety, that I am doing the
best that I can.

Committee.
