15. The following exercise is geared toward helping you accept the gift that
was given to you. Look in the mirror while you read the following:
• I have the power to change my behavior without changing myself.
• Making mistakes does not make me stupid.
• What I see in the mirror is a gift that was given to me.
• I can love who I am without proving myself to everyone.
• I may do and say the right but being wrong and acting badly does not make me a bad
person.

16. ▫ Sit in a quiet place and close your eyes. While your eyes are closed, think about
your everyday life. How do you feel when you are alone? How do you feel
when you are around others? Define the real you.
▫ Do this for two to three minutes. When you are done, add a list of things you
want others to notice about you.
