3 Ways You Are Giving Your Power Away and How to Reclaim It
Enough is enough, let’s stop giving our power away and become who we were born to be. Stop giving your power away, step into your full essence & create a life you are head over heels in love with. In this blog I will show you how…
You Are Giving Your Power Away By: Not taking responsibility for your experience of life.
Most humans aren't taking responsibility for their own life, happiness, health or freedom. Your mind is creating your experience of reality so it’s your responsibility to look at, contemplate where you might not be totally enjoying life and make a change.
You can reclaim your power here today by taking a look at the areas of your life & how you feel about them (use the aspects of life mandala). Any areas that score less than a 7 or 8, then it’s time to make some changes! They don’t have to be huge but by changing 1% every day, thats 365% in a year.
If it’s your health, then can you eat different foods or choose a different form of exercise
If it’s money then what are the beliefs you’re buying into that are playing out in your reality?
If it’s your relationships, how can you bring in more love and compassion?
Take responsibility for your own experience of life and align it with how you wish to feel. If it doesn’t serve you, let it go.
You Are Giving Your Power Away By: Projecting your shadow self onto people around you.
According to Carl Jung, your psyche is made up of different components and the main aspect that most people live their life controlled by is their ego. This may not be the ego you know (for instance when someone says ‘he’s got a big ego’ because the guy has a nice car) - when I say ego I am referring to the part of your mind that is your survival mechanism. It’s a relatively complex bit of kit. Its ultimate job is to keep you safe and one way it does that is by creating a persona (your personality) that helps you remain ‘safe’ within society.
When you are born you are born as pure consciousness, then throughout your early life your brain is like a sponge and takes on the conditioning and programming of your environment. It creates a personality based on what helps you to fit in and feel loved & accepted by those around you. It keeps the personality traits it thinks will keep you safe and rejects traits that it thinks will leave you vulnerable to judgment or being ‘left out in the cold’ by your peers.
The traits that your ego rejects we call the shadow self. Your shadow self is then projected onto people and situations around you. Your internal world creates your external world and the shadow self is still a part of you but because you’re unconsciously rejecting it it’s being projected into your external reality.
Whenever you are projecting your shadow onto others, you are able to blame them for how you feel and what you experience, but remember you’re now taking responsibility for your life. You are being called to reclaim your shadow. Your soul is longing for you to love and accept your whole self fully & completely. By remaining unaware of your projections, you are giving your power away to the ego and it’s limitations.
You can begin to reclaim your power by acknowledging what you might be projecting onto others and reclaiming it. Learning more about shadow work and working with a specific shadow work coach like myself is the best place to start with this because it may take some guidance to navigate your ego. (Learn more by booking in a complimentary call with me.)
Once you are able to integrate your shadow self you start to step more into your true self and it is from your True Self that you are able to experience true freedom & liberation. The truth of who you really are, without the mask and illusion of fear. This is power.
You Are Giving Your Power Away By: Not believing that you are capable of doing the things you want to do in life.
Seriously, you are capable of so much more than you think yet we are made to believe that we are not. That we are just puny victims. But tell me, have you ever overcome an adversity in your life that at the time felt so huge you didn’t think you could? If you’re watching this video then that tells me you survived. There’s a great quote, ‘you have survived all of your worst days so far.’
Now it’s time to thrive. Go after your dreams, become the person that you were put on this planet to be. You are not a victim, you are the hero of your own life. Stop listening to the messaging shown to you in subtle ways every day that you are not worthy. Become aware of your thoughts and the beliefs you have about the world. Tell yourself how worthy and capable you are.
Take your power back by becoming your own cheerleader. You were not put on this earth to play small, you have incarnated in this time to do amazing things and align with your soul. What is your soul’s purpose? What does she want to achieve? How can you help her realise her dreams? You have to start by taking your power back.
In summary:
Take responsibility for your life.
Integrate your shadow and act from your True Self.
Become your own cheerleader, you are capable of so much more than you believe. Simple!
