Empowerment

I looked up the definition of empowerment on the internet today. It says, to make (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights. I love this definition! So many of us are walking around giving our power away! Maybe it’s to our kids thinking thoughts like, “I can make it through today as long as nobody fights.” Or maybe we hand it over to our husband, “if he would just tell me I’m doing a good job once in a while, then I’d feel like enough.” Or maybe it’s the weather, or the number in the scale, or a relationship that’s not perfect, the list goes on and on. We look outside of ourself so often for that validation and love we all crave. The only problem is we usually end up waiting on someone else to change before we can feel better. But what if you could be empowered? What if instead of falling victim to your own life you chose to have your own back? How would things be different? Better? Coaching shows you that all of that’s available to you right now without anything changing at all. Also, this doesn’t mean the end goal is to be happy robot all the time, it just means to be deliberate and intentional with your thinking all while being human and experiencing all of it! The good, the bad, and the ugly.
