Finding Personal Power, and once you find it, what do you do with it?

What exactly does personal power feel like?  Getting a grip on the concept of power might be like trying to capture mist in a butterfly net.the-yard-summer-08-058
I am all about keeping it simple.  What I know about personal power is this. .. When I feel powerful, behind it is always a foundation of self-approval and acceptance and love.

When I am Powerful…

  • I make wiser decisions.
  • I set healthy boundaries.
  • I choose healthy friends.
  • I problem solve from a place of  strength.
  • I stand grounded in the face of difficulties.
  • I automatically take supreme care of myself

When I am not feeling powerful, behind it is always a foundation of self-judgment, disapproval and a non self-loving nature.

That’s simple isn’t it?
So… the quest becomes one of self-care, love, approval, acceptance and the power follows as the prize.  A woman who loves herself unconditionally, will naturally be powerful.

For your journal, for your thoughts…
Go behind the scenes and look at the way you are treating yourself.  What messages about your worth and value play just beneath the surface? What does feeling powerful look like to you in your life today?

Here’s to a gently powerful day…

    You’re right… it’s very much like trying to catch mist in a butterfly net, some days. Other days feel like it’s been there, in the net, all along!
