Creating Self Power In Your Life

Power is a broad reference to the ability to effect change or exert control over people, subjects or objects. Self power or self empowerment

is the ability to " enlighten " , " enhance " and " educate " yourself in order to become a better human being. This is one of the highest forms of spiritual consciousness we can give ourselves. Improving our way of communicating, appreciating and honoring who we are gives us special gifts such as gratitude, self esteem and a sense of being grounded.

The Building Blocks of Self Power

1. Identity Formation: or conscience, is the formation of our identity is the process of developing a distinct personality as an individual regarded as having personal continuity or by which a person is recognized or known. This process defines individuals to others and themselves. Self identity is the sum total of a person's knowledge and understanding of his or her self.

2. Self Awareness: is when we focus our attention on ourselves. We tend to evaluate and compare our current behavior to our internal standards and values. We become self-conscious as objective evaluators of ourselves. The goal is to increase our self awareness through positive change, looking inward, and finding balance. We are more likely to align

our behavior with our standards when made self-aware.

3. Self Image: or imagining, a person's self image is the mental picture, that shows details that are potentially available to an objective view by others (height, weight, hair color, sex, I.Q. score...), but also behavior that has been learned by that person about him or her self, either from personal experiences or by internalizing the judgments of others. A simple definition of a person's self image is

their answer to this question - " What do you believe people think about

you? "

4. Independent Will: makes effective self-management possible. It is the

ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program developed through self awareness, conscience and imagination. Empowerment comes from learning how to use this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.

5.Our Belief System: is a great tool for self-empowerment. To Believe is

a powerful thing. The Universe supports ALL that WE CHOOSE to Believe. Gaining and maintaining a positive belief system about yourself, your abilities and your will to succeed makes the difference between your glass half full and your glass half empty! How do you look at life?

6. Positive Affirmations: is self empowerment that comes from learning how to think in affirmations that are positive! Positive thinking leads to positive performance. Positive performance leads to feeling more empowered. Affirmations are words or phrases that you can say to yourself throughout your day to encourage and motivate yourself.

7. Self Esteem comes from always approving and accepting yourself. When the personality comes fully to serve the energy of the soul, THIS is authentic empowerment! Self-esteem issues are different in different people. Although you may feel great about yourself in one area of your life, you may be extremely down on yourself in another. It is time to became committed to truly loving and appreciating yourself and who you are.

8. The Learning Process: Self empowerment is closely linked to the learning process. Learning something successfully makes you feel good about yourself and creates positive attitudes. A life-student with self-esteem is an active rather than passive learner and is eager to try

new things without fear of failure.

9. Let go of Ego: Embracing peace of mind, optimism, the ability to forgive, and a sense of humor are all good ways to allow the ego to step

aside and make room for some humble pie. The ego comprises of the organised part of the personality structure which includes defensive, perceptual, intellectual-cognitive, and executive functions. Our conscious awareness resides in the ego, although not all aspects of the ego are conscious. The ego separates what is real. It helps us to organise our thoughts and make sense of them and the world around us. [9] It is often the ego that debilitates us through a false sense of pride, unreal expectations, the false image of the self or poor self image.

10. Allow Emotional Release: Identifying, expressing, experiencing, and accepting all of our feelings is your doorway to accepting all change in

your life. An emotional release is important. It is like the steam valve. When it is released the pressure that backs up is released. Follow the link for expressing your emotional release.

11. Be Flexible: because when have a rigid, mind set about work, relationships, kids or lifestyle, you become trapped (stuck). Learn a lesson from the willow tree and its ability to bend in the great wind. Where as, when we are rigid like the old oak tree, we can easily break apart under the stress of change. Learn to relax and follow the path unfolding before you.
