Develop Self Empowerment
Posted By lailah on January 7, 2009
Welcome back!
Having self empowerment gives you the confidence to accomplish your goals. You’ll be emotionally and mentally self-stabilizing, trusting of your decision making ability, and have overall confidence in every aspect. As a result, you’ll invite more positive and beneficial situations and people into your life.
Do you feel empowered? Below are a few questions to reflect on. By discovering the root of a problem, you’re able to tackle it and begin healing.
- Do you easily make decisions in your life and feel good about your choices?
- Do you believe you’re deserving of good things in life?
- Do you trust your ability to reach your goals and dreams?
- Are you in control of your life? (This includes mental and physical health, relationships with others, and your spiritual wellness.)
Making the change toward self empowerment!
Digging for the Root Cause
If you need nurturing in some of these areas, begin by figuring out where you need a boost. Dig deeper to determine the root cause of your self doubt so you can make a change. Ask yourself a series of questions and continue to answer them as you dig deeper. Preface the questions with: What’s the worst thing that would happen if…
Example: A man determines he doesn’t easily make decisions in his life.
He asks himself: Why do I have a hard time making decisions?
- Answer:Because I’m afraid I’ll make the wrong choice.
He asks: What is the worst thing that would happen if I make the wrong choice?
- Answer: I’ll make the situation worse.
He asks: What’s the worst thing that would happen if I worsen the situation?
- Answer: I’ll be a failure.
He asks: What’s the worst thing that would happen if I failed?
- Answer: I’ll never be able to get back up.
Continue digging until you get to the very bottom. In this example, the person may ultimately fear scorn and abandonment from others if he fails. The fear of making the wrong decisions, which he believes will result in failure, paralyzes the man from decision making.
Developing self empowerment is a result of letting go of opposing beliefs and instilling healthier ones. If you’re asked to walk into a lit room and remove an object, you’re able to accomplish that. If you’re asked to walk into a dark room and remove the darkness, you’re not able to do that, unless you fill the room with light.
Instilling beliefs with the use of mantras. A mantra is a sentence or phrase you repeat to yourself until you believe it. It’s been said it takes 21 days for a new habit to be formed. Of course everyone is different and you may require less or more time.
Choose a mantra that’s believable to you. If you don’t believe the mantra, I’m a success, begin with, I’m inviting success into my life. This creates an open environment to bring in what you desire.
Stop. Release. Substitute. As soon as a self-sabotaging thought enters your mind immediately stop the thought from continuing, release it from your mind, and substitute it with the opposite more positive thought. If you think, I’m not going to be hired at this job. I’m not going to apply… Stop! Let that thought float out of your mind then think, I’m capable, deserving, and I’m giving it my all. Some things in life are out of your control, but you don’t know until you make an attempt.
Build Data. Remember all the accomplishments in your life including the little things. Try observing other successful people and put yourself in their shoes. Feel what it’s like to be at their level. We’re all derived from the same energy source. If they experience success, you can experience it. Bare in mind, your idea of reaching your full potential is different than somebody else’s. We all have individual paths in life to travel. You must create your own.
Continue to Collect Data. Focus on the positive situations you’re now bringing into your life. Keep a journal of your new accomplishments. Doing this builds your confidence and self empowerment.
