30 Days to a New You – Day 20
30 Days to a New You Day 20

Challenge Yourself to Stand in Your Power Allowing yourself to be who you really are with all people all of the time requires that you stand in your power. This involves communicating your needs and desires to others as well as to yourself. Standing in your power simply means “owning” what you believe to be true and then speaking your truth. Emanating this power in your words and actions requires no thought when you become accustomed to doing so.
Throughout your life, some people may try to control you or the choices you are making. When you allow this to happen, you are either consciously or subconsciously giving your power away to another. Do you recognize when this happens? How does it make you feel?
It’s time for you to stand up, speak your truth and stand in your power. As I have stated before, every experience offers an opportunity for learning and growth. Your perception and then your reaction to the experience will determine the ultimate outcome of the experience.
Questions to Consider 1. What do you feel when you read the words, “standing in your power?” 2. When reviewing and assessing your life, do you feel like you are currently standing in your power? 3. How would you assess your overall interaction with other individuals? 4. Do you recall an experience when you allowed someone to take your power away? 5. How did it feel when that occurred?
