When you consciously choose to respond to life from an abundant sense of worthiness , awareness and enoughness , you begin to reclaim your power and cocreate your desired life .

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PERSONAL POWER

Let ’ s talk about personal power . Personal power is generated from within us — not from outside ourselves . It ’ s our connection with our Source and an origin of strength and energy inside of us that encompasses our true inner qualities , beliefs , values , experiences , skills , and knowledge .

HERE ARE 10 WAYS YOU MAY BE SABOTAGING YOUR PERSONAL POWER :

1 . Ignore your personal desires , beliefs , and your truth .
2 . Act or react from any position or lowerlevel emotion of lack .
WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH
I see it as our self-confidence and inner strength , our determination , and our resilience . It ’ s our honesty , passion , and assertiveness , and how we treat ourselves and others .
Our personal power represents the truth of who we are and the fullness of our human spirit .
3 . Find yourself focused on fear , guilt , or overwhelm about the past , the present , or the future .
4 . Feel the need to justify or rationalize the way you feel , the thoughts you think , the actions you take , and the desires you have .
5 . Allow feelings of powerlessness or stuckness to control your actions or inactions .
6 . Give your power over to other people or situations and play the blame-game .
7 . Refuse to trust your intuition and instead let your inner critic / ego to call the shots .
8 . Fail to embrace self-love , selfcompassion , and kindness
9 . Refuse to accept or allow in help or compassion from others .
10 . Feel bad in any situation . Lack never feels good .
