According to Psychiatric Times, empowerment has a significant correlation with overall mental and physical well-being, and allows a focus on resilience, strength, and control over one’s life. How to cultivate that mindset and lifestyle is the question. I dealt with this during a particularly challenging time in my life. We’ve all had difficult phases to cope with. What approach is most effective in managing stress while making significant life changes?
I share a bit of my journey below and hope it inspires you to consider what you want your life to look like.
The True Nature of Energy: Transforming Anxiety into Tranquility (excerpt)
I did not always feel empowered. For many years I was puzzled by the fact that my optimism toward life in general did nothing to dissuade my feelings of inadequacy, disappointment, and lack of control. I intuitively sensed things around me, yet was often told that it was all in my head. It seemed as though others knew things that I did not. It felt as though my opinion did not matter. I did not know how to set boundaries and allowed my energy to be zapped by those who were overly dependent and took me for granted.
I trusted the guidance of others more than my own sense of what was best for me. I did not trust my intuitive knowing. I wasted energy on unhealthy relationships that lowered my self-esteem. And then I woke up. I was tired of giving away my power. I realized that with each passing day I was missing opportunities to create the life I really wanted. I decided to take a chance and started making decisions that made me feel good, guided by my instincts, regardless of what others thought.
The challenge was to overcome the fear, doubt, and worry that came with giving away my power to others. It was time to let go of behaviors and beliefs that held me hostage. It was then that I realized that everything was energy, everything held energy, and that the choices I was making served to enhance or diminish my own energy and the energy of relationships and situations.
I took back my power. I decided to get rid of anything that was taking away my energy. I made the most important decisions of my life and ended a confining marriage, changed jobs, and relinquished a long-held goal that no longer aligned with the ultimate vision of how I wanted to live my life. At that point, I began the journey of returning myself to my Self. As I shed the old way of being, I began to believe in myself and the quality of my energy shifted to a higher vibrational level. Each time an outmoded aspect of my life was removed, each time I refused to participate in the drama of others, each time I held my ground from a position of objectivity rather than emotionality, I freed myself from all that was obsolete in my life.
As I cleared the lower level vibrations that had blinded me up until then, I began to trust my inner guidance and moved forward with calm certainty. My energy exponentially increased as I flowed with the intuitive guidance I received. The people and situations that held me back gently moved out of my life. Anything – people, activities, behaviors, beliefs, and perspectives – that vibrated at a lower level than mine held no appeal and new opportunities and realizations regularly came my way.
The right job, the right relationship, and the right home became mine as a result. Shifts continue to come readily, and I flow with them, modifying my work, my relationships, and my beliefs accordingly. My journey made me realize how many people are going through the misery and self-doubt that prevented me from achieving fulfillment for far too long. It is an uncomfortable place to be. You are ready to change your life, but are not sure where to begin. Everything seems like a struggle, and you are unable to clear the blocks that keep you stuck.
