I'm sure none of us are guilty of anything on Ann's list below. But just in case, here's wise and steady advice from guest contributor Ann Daly, a well-known and loved life coach/author/speaker in Austin. You can learn more about Ann's recent book, Do Over! How women are reinventing their lives here.

10 ways to give away your power
I call what I do "clarity coaching," but really it's about the power that clarity brings. It's about a woman wanting to feel able to do, be, or get what she wants in life. To reinvent herself. That ability is power.
Unfortunately, there are so many ways that we simply give away our power.
For example, do you:
- Worry about disappointing everyone else but yourself.
- Expect someone else to make it better, right, or fair.
- Let anger be your guide.
- Fail to prepare, research, or do due diligence.
- Let "should" be your guide.
- Depend exclusively on emotion to make decisions.
- Ignore your intuition.
- Avoid conflict at all costs.
- Ask everyone else what they think.
- Look backward, instead of forward.
If you want to feel more powerful, start by avoiding everything on this list. Then begin to take back your power.
