People struggle with many things. Business owners often struggle with their associates while stay at home parents might struggle with how their spouse acts when they get home from work. Everyone has personal power and the way that you use this power or if you give it away will cause you to act in a certain way.
Giving away your personal power means that your mental health is struggling. You have to make a choice in order to make sure that you aren’t giving your power away and if you are, you have to get it back!
Here are some ways to get back your power!
- Stop Complaining!
Instead of complaining, learn to problem solve. Focus on what is going on in your life that is a problem and what you can do to come up with some kind of fix for it. Complaining means that you are giving away your power, take it back and have a good attitude.
- Embrace Your Feelings
Don’t blame what you’re feeling on everyone else and give away your power to them. Learn to accept why you are feeling certain emotions and to embrace them. Make sure that these emotions are yours no matter how people treat you.
- Set Boundaries
You have to learn to set boundaries and stick up for yourself or people will walk all over you and take away all of your power. Be in charge of yourself and set emotional, physical, and mental boundaries. You get to decide who you spend time with and how much time you spend with them.
- Love and Forgive
It is important to love others, but it is also important to forgive those that have hurt you or wronged you. Holding a grudge is only going to hurt you. Even if someone has done you wrong, don’t let them ruin your life by holding a grudge. Forgive them and move on.
- Know Your Values and Morals
Know what your values are and what your morals are. When you know these things then you won’t do things that cause you to feel bad. Know what your values are and what is important to you and show those things off.
- Be Mindful of Your Thinking
Don’t spend your entire life thinking about things that you will never be able to accomplish or things that you didn’t get done today. When something doesn’t get done, go back to it tomorrow and try again. Be in control of your thoughts and don’t let negativity fill your mind.
- Don’t Be a Victim
You have a choice to say yes or no to anyone. Don’t tell people that you’ll do things if you don’t want to. If you choose to do those things, then don’t act like a victim because you always have a choice.
- What’s Your Self Worth?
Do you base your self-worth on what other people think or say? If so, you’re likely a people-pleaser. This will take away your power and it will cause you to never feel that you’re good enough. Don’t let someone else tell you what you’re worth.
- Be Brave
Be brave about who you are. Don’t just hide and blend in but stand out in your life and in your world. You don’t have to hide who you are but be brave enough to show the world how exciting you are!
This article is overly simplistic and doesn’t address deeper issues many people face. It’s easy to say ‘stop complaining’ but life isn’t that straightforward for everyone. A bit more depth would be appreciated.
