The reader asks herself, Can you look another person directly in the eyes? Do your eyes shift away when you are making an important assertive statement? Are you able to maintain eye contact for a moment after you complete your statement? Can you accept a compliment with full eye contact? Being assertive is being direct, honest, and spontaneous. This will allow the woman to avoid misunderstandings, emotional withdrawal, hurting of other people unnecessarily and spending energy nonproductively.

It means deciding for yourself, independent of the external demands of other people, how you wish to spend your time, to what use you want to devote your energy, and how much privacy, emotional space, and time alone you need.

Power is the ability to no longer be at the mercy of other people, she takes charge of her actions. A FARMINGTON The subtle, distinctive taste of the avocado can enhance any holiday salad.
