Reclaim your power

What does it mean to reclaim your power?

It's about confidence to handle anything.

Here are some actions to take:

• Asking for what you want
• Setting boundaries
• Expressing your feelings

Work on your integrity.

Integrity means I ask myself what is right and I do what is right.

As a man, I want to come to believe that I have to build my own power.

Women don't want mens that try to please them.

Instead, they want a man who knows how to please himself.

Do guy things with guys.

Make sure to:

• Make time
• Take risks
• Be vulnerable

Getting your social needs met with men takes a lot of pressure around women.
