I'm not used to feeling empowered in general, so it's new territory for me.

At there situations or aspects in your life where you feel empowered and don't have trouble asking for what you want or need? For example work, or when dealing with kids. I have a great deal of trouble asking for personal things that I want or need. However, when it comes to my career or my children I am much more assertive and have little problems asking for things. Maybe you could think about situations where you feel more empowered and try to expand this feeling into other areas of your life.
