The Metaphysical Aspects of Self Power

Discover the building blocks of Self Power and refuse to be the victim.

Power is the ability to effect change or control people, subjects, or objects. Self-power or self-empowerment is the ability to “enlighten,” “enhance,” and “educate” yourself to become a better human being.

This is one of the highest forms of spiritual consciousness we can give ourselves. Improving our communication, appreciating, and honoring who we are gives us special gifts such as gratitude, self-esteem, and a sense of being grounded.

As empowered beings, we have the opportunity to remind ourselves of our selflessness, our humanity, and the endless source of energy we can tap into. Here, you can discover the building blocks of self-power. Refuse to be the victim.

Change Creates Self Power

If we choose to focus our attention on the negative around us, we will be that negativity. We Must focus on doing what we can’t do; we will surely not do the things we can’t.

If we choose to focus our attention on being a victim, we will remain a victim. To empower your spirit and create your true self, you must change your thoughts and the feelings around them.

Change is inevitable. Our lives are made up of the building blocks of change. Change creates the person we must grow to be. Change happens for a reason, too. That reason is to allow us possibilities we may not have seen in the first place. This can be traumatic, or it can be less so.

The most important point you can make about change is that it’s not what faces you in most cases. That’s the problem; it’s how you react to it. How you react is determined by how you perceive a change.

Crisis = Opportunity

The Chinese word for crisis is “Weiji.” Two characters that separately mean danger and opportunity. Every problem we encounter in life can be viewed that way. It is a chance to show that we can handle it. Changing the way you think can change a life of stress and discomfort to a life of challenge and excitement.

Change shows itself in many forms: the move to a different career, whether by choice or not; the loss of a loved one or a relationship; the move to a new home; or simply the change in the weather and how we feel.

It is important to embrace the transition. Struggling, kicking and screaming, and dragging your heels will only prolong trying to control the uncontrollable. Learn to recognize strengths you may have overlooked. Embrace optimism and reform your old belief system. Honor the new you, which you are transforming into.

Here are ten ways to embrace change and own your Self Power:

1. Often, in any situation, we must take quiet time to be with ourselves to observe this change. How is it going to affect me? Better yet, how am I going to let it affect me? What am I going to do to get through this? Allow the answers to come to you in your quiet time.

2. Take everything one day at a time. Sometimes, situations can become overwhelming when looking at the big picture. Again, take your quiet time to observe the moment. Allow yourself to take all the time, take all the space, and grasp the change.

3. Breathe. Deep breathing allows us to open our chest and expand. It clears our minds and bodies of toxins and should be used as a tool for change. Allow the breath to cleanse you and make room for change. Make room for something different.

4. Support. We are always put at ease when we have support behind us. In these vulnerable moments, we can find strength in others. If you have a good friend, a family member, a loved one, or a community group that you can turn to, do so. Be sure that this support comes from a positive, unbiased source. Otherwise, it can be more damaging than good. Rest assured, there have been others who have gone through what you are experiencing right now. See if you can take away some of their positive pearls of wisdom with you.

5. Love Yourself. You are the true source of your own happiness. It’s essential to live within yourself, finding peace in who you are. No one else can do that for you—only you can make it happen. We all have our unique ways of connecting with ourselves, but there’s just one path to being at ease with your soul: loving yourself, always.

6. Our Belief System is one of the major factors that can get us through situations or can cause our life to crumble around us. I believe there is a lot of innate goodness and balancing our minds subconsciously to get us through hard times. The other portion is how we “program” ourselves to deal with any situation.

7. Let go of the 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.

8. Allow Emotional Release. Identifying, expressing, experiencing, and accepting all of our feelings is your doorway to accepting all changes in your life.

9. Be Flexible. You have a rigid, mindset about work, relationships, kids or your lifestyle. Life will bring us challenges we do not see coming. It is important to be able to adjust and learn as we grow. Our adaptability needs a sense of willingness to let go. By lowering our expectations, reveals an openness to accept.

10. There is no security in something irrelevant or meaningless. When we let go of the familiar, we have the power to embrace the new. Embrace it.
