One of the first challenges I decided to deal with was physical. There was some abuse in my childhood and I am a small person. I am 5 foot 2 and I felt vulnerable and fragile. I felt very at risk physically. When I was in college, walking around at night was very scary to me. I felt I had no physical power. I felt small and powerless. But I honestly don’t think it had much to do with my actual size. I bet you’ve had times in your life when you felt small and powerless even if you are big and tall. Well I didn’t like it! I didn’t like it then and I don’t like it now. So I started looking for ways to take back my power.
One of the first things I did was, I signed up for a self-defense course. Just a one time thing, a two-hour self-defense course for women. That seemed simple enough, something I could compete in one day. And you know what? It was great! I felt a little stronger, a little safer, and a little more powerful!
Then I bought pepper spray and took a one hour certification on how to use it. And I bought a little self-defense stick that goes on my key chain. Two more things I could do each in one day or less, moving me into my power.
Is there something you could do to make yourself feel more powerful? If there is an area in your life where you want to take back your power, start small. Think of something you could do in one day that would move you into your power just a little. In fact, think of three things you could do in a day. Now you don’t have to do them all in the same day, but three things that could each be done in one day. Now write them down and commit to do at least one of them by the end of the week.
Congratulations! You have begun to Take Back Your Power!
