There's never been a better time to launch a blog, record a podcast or put together a website. Being able to communicate your thoughts, concerns and advice will lift your spirits. Too often, you focus on listening more than you speak. As a result, most of your friendships don't give you an opportunity to just simply be yourself. Having an outlet for your feelings will make you more confident and assertive. Suddenly, it won't be so difficult to demand what you want.
