How to Instantly Empower Yourself and get UNstuck
Jan 15, 2019
So how’s the Year going for you so far?
Yup, it’s that time again when we think about our future and it’s exciting, isn’t it?
We get filled with enthusiasm and say to ourselves, ‘I know my plans didn’t quite pan out last year — but this year it’s going to be different, yay!’
And then… we do exactly what we did last year. We start off with a bang and a flourish and then… we slowly let our energy and enthusiasm dwindle away…
Why do we do it? Well— it’s not because we’re bad people or lazy or lacking in will power…There are reasons, and different reasons for each person. Old habits, old fears, old let downs.
If we take the time to explore what the reasons are then we might have a fighting chance of seeing our hopes and dreams spring into action and carry on throughout the year.
If that seems like an effort that’s probably because you’re not used to spending time caring for yourself. But here’s the thing, we must figure those reasons out. Because once we do, we’ll be free of those old behaviours and able to forge ahead and kick ass.
Is it the old fear kicking in? Of being judged or laughed at? Is it that old imposter syndrome popping up again? Or is it a fear that we might actually be successful — and then what will happen? Oh no, everybody will hate us!!
So why do we accept this? Why do we beat ourselves up for not starting or coping or managing everything perfectly? And why do we feel we’re not worth taking care of?
Well that’s mainly programming, years of society telling us what to do and think and how to behave. We have to learn how to look after our own needs in a way that sits comfortably with us. Then we can manage ourselves and our physical, mental and emotional states more easily. And when we’re able to do that, we can do anything!
The ONE question we need to ask ourselves when we are in state of confusion or indecision is this:
‘Am I empowered or disempowered right now?’
It’s a stop-you-in-your-tracks kind of a question because it makes us realise that we’re operating from a position of weakness. Anytime we let our negative thoughts or emotions run away with us we’re disempowered and in that state nothing will change or be achieved.
So now — switch.
What would the ‘empowered’ you do or say? That strong fearless you? That creative whizz brain, that fire-starter, that truth seeker?
S/he’s still right there inside you, just life and STUFF gets in the way.
What would s/he say? S/he’d speak clearly, calmly and strongly and say ‘Yes you can. Give it a go’
Or she’d say ‘It’s ok to be anxious, seek out the help or support you need’ ‘You’re not alone. Risk it for a biscuit!’ If this sounds simple, that’s because it is.
Does it work?
Try it.
We are the source of our inspiration and the driving force behind everything we do, right?
We are, literally, our own most valuable asset. So why on earth do we stress this asset, push it too far, over-load it and think it will go on forever and always be able to cope?
So, right now...
ARE YOU EMPOWERED OR DISEMPOWERED?
