Taking Your Power Back

-

 




ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR POWER BACK?

I need you to have that enough is enough anger when you say this because I am serious. Before we get too deep, if you want to know what people mean when they make this statement, I will explain it in one sentence. Having an understanding makes this declaration even more powerful. So here goes when you regain your power, you face your wounds and deal with them.

 

●  It means you are not allowing the pain to darken you but taking steps to heal and become a better version of yourself. No one will have the power to gaslight you because you have established boundaries and built confidence. You have taken your control back.

●  It means you have identified your triggers and are working on unpacking them. You have stopped complaining about what happened and have rewritten the narrative.

●  To take your power back means not allowing anyone else to silence you.

 

If we do not do the inner work, the pain still holds power to dictate every move we make. I allowed shame, rejection, and abandonment to take my passion every time I set out to accomplish goals. My thoughts would default to past decisions of how things would not work. I overgeneralized everything because once or twice something did not go according to plan. My mindset was a hot mess. I soared one layer at a time when I faced the root of those emotional catastrophes. Adversities happen, but they are not debilitating as they once were. Do you know why? Because I took my power back, and so can you!

 

Here are some ways you can take your power back:

  1. Face your traumas.

  2. Establish boundaries.

  3. Forgive yourself.

  4. Stop trying to prove yourself to other people.

  5. Reframe negative experiences and find the silver lining.

  6. Make your self-worth independent of others' opinions.

  7. Magnify your strengths and build upon them.

 

 

 

Twelve other authors and I wrote a book taking our power back in the new anthology. We told what happened within the walls of our childhood homes, breaking the cycle of "what happens in this house, stays in this house," and we want the same for you. If you are ready to interrupt some patterns, grab a copy of our new book for ONLY .99 by clicking the link below. You will be glad you did; allow these women to encourage and inspire you to reclaim your voice.

Psychologically Unsafe Living Environments

  "My living environment began to get highly toxic and uncomfortable to the point where I cried a lot, was angry with myself, and was in a state of depression." -Brittany D. Jackson   I felt this! I could relate to the author as she detailed how hard it was for her to live in one toxic environment after the other. These environments take a toll on us mentally and emotionally, making it difficult to trust others. Suppose you have ever felt extreme anxiety, low self-esteem, worthlessness, or feeling drained being around certain people more than likely. In that case, you are living in or have lived in an unsafe environment. Most of us have, at some point, experienced these living conditions at an early age in our childhood homes.   I grew up in psychologically unsafe living conditions. There was access to designer things and everything else to look good on the outside, but the internal structure was in shambles. I could not wait to get out on my own; there was no reason for me t

The Pits I Dug

  I contributed to a book about the pits I landed in due to how I responded to life’s challenges. How I responded became a detrimental habit I fought to break free from. I was destroying my life from the inside out. Life was grand when things were good, but emotional turmoil was my portion when the toxic pattern kicked in.   While journaling yesterday, I thought about my pit experiences. Yes, experience (s). There were many, some I dug for myself. One author in the same book referenced above talked about how she stayed too long in terrible relationships. As I journaled, I cried, thinking about how my decision to remain in spaces longer than needed caused great mental and emotional calamity. Yes, I experienced abuse mentally and emotionally. I experienced betrayal trauma, but the red flags were clear before getting too deep. I had dreams; I heard song lyrics and even had a few messages warning me, but I overrode my intuition. My gut screamed to run the other way, but I stayed.
