Stand in Your Power
Monday, December 24th, 2007 4:13 AM
It’s amazing how easily we give up our power. What do I mean by that? So many components are combined into the term power in my opinion. Power encompasses our belief in ourselves, our willingness to overcome our fears, our ability to live our lives from our purpose, and to make decisions based on our life purpose and what feels true to our heart. These things are not easy to accomplish and that is what makes them powerful.
Too often, we settle for a life that doesn’t suit our real needs. We may have all of the luxuries of what society tells us make up a good life - like a nice house and car, a “good” job, etc - but if it doesn’t fulfill us, we aren’t living from our power. When we embrace our power, we are able to stand up and say “Wait a minute! This in’t what I want and I am willing to do what it takes to feel fulfilled.”
Take a minute and ask yourself if you are acting from your power. Can you feel that spark inside of you, ignited and passionate? Do you feel an overall sense of fulfillment? Or does it feel like there is something missing? Do you sense an inner plea for something to be different?
Once you have identified what is not working in your life, you have entered a state of awareness that you may or may not have had before. If that awareness wasn’t there before, now you can begin to tap into your power to create a life that allows you to fulfill your life purpose.
If that awareness was there before you did this exercise, then what is holding you back? Is it fear? Overwhelm? Do you not believe it is possible for you? Does it feel easier to just chug along as you are? Begin to visualize what your life could be like if you were fulfilling your purpose. Really get into the feelings of what that would be like for you and allow yourself to get lost in that vision.
Now, make a commitment to take small steps toward the destination of that vision. Commit to yourself that you will give yourself the gift of discovering all you can be. Why else are we here really?
Finally Change Your Life This Year!
Monday, December 24th, 2007 4:03 AM
With the New Year approaching, you might be thinking about what you would like to change about your life this year. Maybe you have decided to set some New Year’s resolutions or maybe you decided to scratch that idea this year because you are just too sick of making those resolutions and never seeing them happen. Well in either case, here is an outline you can use to help you make these changes stick so that you can have the best year ever!
1) Reflect on the year 2007 and make some notes about what you did well and what you would like to change. By noting what you did well, you will be able to use that as fuel to help you achieve what you want to change. Think about how you accomplished those things so well. What special skills do you have that made it possible? What pushed you to make it happen? Use all of that power to create the same results with the new changes you want to make.
2) Now that you have made a list of the things you would like to change, reflect upon what you wrote and ask yourself whether you REALLY want it or not. Ask yourself what you hope to feel or experience in your life. What is the essence you would like your life to encapsulate? Then, look back at the possible changes you wrote down and ask yourself if those changes really fit in with your essence. Is that goal in line with the REAL things you want in life? If it is, are you willing to do the work to make that change happen? If you aren’t, then the chances of you achieving it are slim.
3) If you answered yes and you feel passionate about making that change, then you need to commit to envisioning it everyday. When you think about the essence of what that goal will give you, how do you feel? Create a vision in your mind of you accomplishing your goal. How does it feel, look, sound, taste, smell? Get your senses involved so that it becomes more and more real to you. The more you play that vision in your head, the more real it will feel to you and the easier it will be to achieve.
