Hello beautiful souls,
This is June Bee and today we're gonna talk about women and self-empowerment.
So let's start with the definition.
What is empowerment?
Empowerment is the process of becoming stronger,
How we control our life and claim more confidence.
What does that mean to you?
For me it means the ability to assert myself and find clarity in my intentions.
Why are you here?
What is your purpose?
How do you want to live your life?
These are important questions,
Questions that will help you to be more empowered.
Empowered people know their strengths and weaknesses and are confident in communicating them to ensure that they get the opportunities they want.
They also however know their limits and have no problems with asking for help or guidance.
So how do we do that?
Become more empowered.
Self-empowerment means taking a conscious and definite decision to take charge of your destiny.
Learning to make positive choices,
Taking action to advance and being confident in your ability to make and execute decisions.
Self-empowered women understand their limitations and are motivated to learn,
Improve themselves and achieve more.
As women,
Learning to take back control and leading meaningful lives by 1.
Gaining confidence,
2.
Getting motivated and learning strategies to cope,
3.
Finding ways to get unstuck,
4.
Having healthy emotional wellness and lastly,
5.
Live the life you deserve right now.
Here are some tips you could try to help cultivate that feeling of empowerment.
Firstly,
Get to know yourself.
The first thing you could do is analyse who you are and identify your dreams and aspirations.
An empowered woman knows who she is at her core,
Her values,
Her beliefs and how to use these things to make a difference to the life of everyone around her and the world.
She tries to show up as her best self every day.
Educate yourself.
Committing to learning as much as you can,
Being like a sponge and taking in everything that is around you.
Knowing you are never too old to learn and understanding your mind is one of your best assets.
Develop a positive attitude and a healthy confidence.
How can you build healthy confidence?
Confidence comes from taking action,
Not only words.
As an empowered woman,
You can tap into this.
Have you heard the saying,
Feel the fear and do it anyway?
Well,
That is how an empowered woman thinks.
Feeling into the uncomfortable feelings and experiences and facing them with a confidence that comes from taking action.
Standing up for what you believe in and knowing that this confidence is contagious.
Using these little and subtle instances of confidence and stringing them together like stepping stones.
That is the way to unleash that self-empowerment each and every day.
Baby steps.
Without even realizing it,
You'll be paving the way for future generations of women to stand up,
Take action and change the world for the better.
Surround yourself with positive people.
There is a saying,
If you're the smartest person in the room,
Then you need to find a new room.
You are the sum total of the people who you hang around,
Whether you realize it or not.
So check out carefully the company you keep.
Practicing self-care.
Knowing that your body may not be perfect.
In reality,
It is perfectly imperfect and giving thanks for it right now.
It is the vehicle that takes you around this beautiful earth and for that you are proud of it anyway.
Caring for your body at every opportunity and keeping it healthy.
Lastly,
Be kind and compassionate to yourself.
In order to truly love others,
You need to be able to love yourself first and foremost.
Loving yourself for the great parts of who you are and for the perceived flaws and parts that you may not deem willing to share.
Be gentle with yourself.
That is key.
Even when you do things you may not think that are in line with your core beliefs and knowing that tomorrow is another day to be able to do it all again.
Let's take a moment together.
Close your eyes for a moment.
Take a deep breath.
Listen to my voice and let's go on a journey.
You're in a beautiful park and the sun is gently shining.
You pass a lake and see your reflection in the still water.
You feel different.
You are different.
You are now feeling so empowered.
As you see your reflection,
You see yourself as a fearless lioness with a purple cloak on your back and a crown of amethyst crystals on your head.
You are gracefully walking around,
Softly observing the beauty all around you.
As you take the time to lay down and relax,
You feel something bubbling up inside of you.
You have this feeling deep inside of you that you're filled with an inner power and an unlimited strength of knowing who you truly are and how to embrace and expand your unique abilities.
Making sure that you know your weaknesses are not a flaw and you are not afraid to ask for help.
Also knowing your strengths and how you can use them to make an impact in the world that you live in today.
Having an inner knowledge that you have everything that you need inside of you right now.
Gaining strength with each breath you take.
Gaining strength from giving gratitude and thanks for where you are right now and where you are going,
Even if you don't know the exact direction.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Feel this inner power wash all over you and know you can bring this feeling back anytime you need to.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
As you slowly open your eyes,
Understand the universe has your back.
Allow your life to be full of experiences where you continually learn how to be an observer and have the perspective that you are allowing things to unfold in exactly the way they are meant to.
Tapping into your inner strength at any time you need it and unleashing your inner purpose like only the lioness in you truly can.
And so it is.
