Use these ten tips to celebrate your strengths! Developing physical, emotional and mental strength helps you to achieve your goals, help other people and take care of yourself. It's okay to be strong, purposeful and powerful!

Discover what you want in a relationship and you'll find out who means most.
Ever wonder how you get along with your close friends? Step back and see your differences: needs, wants and feelings. Boundaries are okay, they give both people room to have their own experiences. By sharing differences, you and your friends can strengthen your relationships.

Strength Tip 1
Write a description of the qualities and values you look for in a friend. How do your current friendships match up?
Change your ways, and create a better version of yourself.
You are who you want to be. Pay attention to what's in your heart. Take risks and try new things; you can create power over your life. "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten."

Strength Tip 2
Think outside the box. Explore new ways to solve old problems. Go to bed an hour earlier. Make a date with yourself and examine what's going on in your life! Life is what you make of it. Be creative!
Physical strength, combined with mental and emotional strength, make you a force to be reckoned with!
It's no secret, minds and bodies work best when they are in sync. Exercising the body reduces stress and improves overall energy. Exercising the mind helps you handle the challenges of both victory and defeat. Mind, body and spirit working as one will give you confidence and discipline to follow your dreams.

Strength Tip 3
Bring balance to your life by nurturing body, mind and soul equally. One won't work well without the other. List ways you can feed all three. Read a good book, jump rope, watch less TV, join a new club.
Tell yourself where you want to go in life; you'll get there faster.
You can't get to a great future on girl power alone. You need a plan. Knowing where you want to take your life will drive you to learn and grow. Everyday choices impact the achievement of your goals! What future is calling you?

Strength Tip 4
Create a mission statement. Include where you imagine yourself in the future. Map out a plan to get yourself there. Your mission statement today is your reality tomorrow. Dream on and go, girl!
When others' actions frustrate you, think of a better way to respond.
The reality is you do not have control over other people and their actions. You can only control the way you react. Discuss whatever issues have come up with your friend. If their behavior does not change, then adapt, change your behavior and you can move forward. Reality only bites if you let it.

Strength Tip 5
Identify a problem. Then brainstorm ways to approach it. (Even if it's ridiculous! ) Which strategy is the best (with the fewest bad consequences)? Act on it and change the situation.
Practice ways to relax and they'll become "good for you " habits.
Don't freak out! Chill out! Stress is very normal. Calming down during frantic or worrisome times requires a soothing ritual. Breathe, stretch, close your eyes. Don't try to be a super-woman; use your super-powers to save your last nerve.

Strength Tip 6
How can you relax? Count to ten. Take deep, slow breaths. Take a walk. Close your bedroom door and dare to take a nap! Give your body a break, whichever way works best for you.
Exercise for fitness, and beautiful bodies happen naturally.
Do you exercise to lose weight? Instead, try exercising to develop strength, endurance, flexibility and improved cardiovascular fitness. Research shows that women who exercise to reach fitness goals have a better body image than those who exercise to lose weight.

Strength Tip 7
Focus on what your body can do instead of how it looks. Have fun. Stay active. Dance around your bedroom when no one is looking.
Mistakes are natural, unavoidable and great teachers.
Mistakes make us better. In Hollywood, "Take Three" happens all the time. Actors count on "missed takes" to get them closer and closer to their best performance. Even a softball hitter has to strike out 60% of the time to hit an amazing .400.

Strength Tip 8
Think of how a mistake led you to find a better solution. Turning mistakes into learning opportunities builds confidence and gets you closer to achieving your goals.
Speak positively and you'll see a better picture.
Do you ever say things like, "Everyone thinks I'm a loser?" or "No one will ever like me?" Overgeneralizing or dramatizing how you feel creates a distorted view of yourself. Positive words are powerful. Speak up and your self will listen.

Strength Tip 9
Put your view in proper perspective. Instead of saying, "She'll never be my friend again," try saying, "Her feelings are hurt right now and we need to work this out.” Remember, you are what you speak.
Love who you are and you'll become a beautiful woman!
Many body changes are taking place right now. You may think you are beautiful one day and not the next. You're still a normal teenager. Don't try to fit a certain body image. All women have been there and lived through it. Embrace what's unique.

Strength Tip 10
Nurture your body as it changes. Eat right, exercise and treat your body to gifts like specialty lotions or a pedicure. Buy clothes that flatter your current body type (not just what's in style).
