Self empowerment means you have the power to create your own life. It is the ability to make choices and transform them into action and into reality. You are the only one that can control and decide what you want out of life and make it work to get what you desire. Your family cannot, your friends cannot, only you. You cannot feel self-empowered if you are depending on other people to make you feel empowered. So what else do you need to be or do to be self-empowered?
Assertiveness – You need to know what you want and “go for it”. Sometimes you will have to stand up for yourself and for your own rights in order to do this, however you can do it without being overpowering and alienating others.
High self-esteem – When you feel good about yourself, it will show in all you do. Others will notice it and want to do things to help you as you will be perceived as someone that people can depend on to get things done. You may need to work on your self-esteem, if you feel it is not currently as high as it could be.
Decisiveness – You must be able to make decisions in order to empower yourself and others. It may be necessary to take a chance – there are no guarantees in life. You never know how one decision will affect your life until you make it. The problem is, this is what holds many people back. They are so afraid of making the wrong decision that they find themselves not making any. Because of this they never move down the track toward the finish line. Is this the direction you are taking? Why not take a risk and see if you can make things happen, instead of sitting on the sidelines watching other people make a better life.
Positive Thinker – If this does not come naturally, each time you find yourself thinking negative, take a deep breath and redirect your thoughts to only the positive side or results on any given situation. Most negatives can be made positive by finding a way around a bad situation or by realising the final outcome may be necessary or desirable. For example, you are given a job you really don’t want to do, but realise it is an opportunity to show your talents or abilities. When you find yourself in a bad situation, think of any ideas you can that can make it better.
Friendly with Good Social Skills – Have you ever met somebody that just seems to be naturally friendly and when they’re in a room full of people they just seem to make friends instantly? Some people just seem to be socially empowered. These are the people who achieve the most because they are more likely to meet people who help them achieve success. Learn social skills and how to use them to your advantage.
Be Creative – Have you ever said to yourself, I am just not creative? Did you know that when you say negative things to yourself you are telling your subconscious mind to behave that way? You must tell yourself repeatedly I am creative, I can figure out how to do anything. By doing this several times per day you are redirecting your subconscious to behave this way. When self-empowered people are faced with a task or idea, they tell themselves that they are creative and they can make it work. Try thinking outside the square – write a complete list of ideas and don’t worry whether it is the “normal” way of doing things – you may come up with a completely new and unique idea.
