You give away your power whenever you allow other people or circumstances to control how you think, feel or behave.
For example, when you say your supervisor “ruined your day”, you give your power to him or her over your life. Or when you tell your partner “makes you angry”, you provide them with control over how you feel.
On the other hand, when you decide that no one will have the power to control how you feel about yourself, how you think about the world, what kind of day you are going to have, how you are going to spend your time, or who you are going to spend it with, you'll empower yourself to create your best life.
Here are two ways to stop giving away your power :
🌻 Reframe your language.
Any time you claim that someone has made you feel bad, remind yourself that you alone are in control of how you feel. Or when you are tempted to say you “have to do something,” remind yourself that every decision is a choice. You don't have to work late, and you don't have to go to the store. Of course, there may be consequences if you can empower yourself to be your best.
🌻 Think before you react.
Empower yourself by thinking before you react. Take a deep breath, excuse yourself from the situation or distract yourself for a few minutes until you feel calm enough to collect your thoughts. Check your schedule before saying “Yes” and step away from an argument for few minutes to calm down, so you won't allow someone to bring out the worst in you.
➡ Take back your power⭐
It takes hard work to retain your personal when you are used to giving it away. But increasing your mental strength requires you have every ounce of personal power for yourself. So monitor your control, and look for ways in which you are voluntarily giving it away. Retaining your control allows you to devote your time and energy to the things you want, which is key to improving your well-being.
Happy Monday, everyone 🌹
