I get this question a lot. What’s your definition of “Being Empowered”?
To me, being empowered means Being in-Your-Power, Within Yourself.
It’s loving and trusting yourself, feeling comfortable in your own skin, communicating your truth, being able to laugh at yourself and staying true to who you are and what you believe in – no matter what is happening around you. It’s having clear intentions and taking decisive action to realize what you really want.
It’s Autonomy – the feeling of independence and freedom.
It’s Accountability – for how you show up and every choice you make.
It’s living as the Authority of Your Life – knowing the buck stops with you.
It’s being the Author of Your Life – choosing your thoughts, words and actions wisely.
I didn’t say it was easy! It takes a whole lotta clarity, courage and confidence to stand and stay in your power.
Being Empowered is NOT:
It’s NOT about power over others.
It’s NOT about proving yourself and doing more.
It’s NOT about being driven by the attention or accolades from others.
It’s NOT about playing the Perfection Game as it can’t be won.
On a scale of 1-10, how Empowered do You Feel?
