Hello Empowered Ones,
Sometimes, we all just need a little empowerment boost. Life happens and before you know it, you are overwhelmed and losing track of everything you had once held dear to your heart. Is it possible to know when you need an empowerment boost before hitting rock bottom? Here are 5 little signs that I have found which may be highlighting that you are need of a little you time to get your mojo back.
1) You are now a Snappy Chappy
We all have days where just every little thing really bugs us. We wake up on the wrong side of the bed and accidentally stump our toe and that is it, we have convinced ourselves that today is going to be the worst day ever and now every little thing requires an argument or leave you questioning what is the point. You may even be unlucky or lucky enough to have others around you who can sense the tension and may even say something! When we get to that snappy chappy point, it can often be a result of burnout and overwhelm. Life is edging ever closer to that all scary breakdown, so as soon as a hint of snappiness edges in (and undeservingly so), it may be a time to step back, step within and build yourself back up again.
2) You feel a bit lost and confused
This is a big one for many. As children, it comes somewhat naturally to us to dream big and wild and when posed with a question, they know exactly who they are going to be when they grow up. And yet, somewhere down the line, we lose that wonder, excitement and confidence. We then find something that intrigues us and we give it ago, only to find a few days/weeks/months/years we are left questioning our decisions and whether or not we are on the right path. If this is you and you are feeling a little lost and confused, it could very well be the perfect time to do a little soul searching and start your empowerment journey.
3) You feel you aren’t in control and more affected by change
Now… This is a big sign in myself. I can be a little bit of a control freak. Not about other people, what they do or don’t do is up to them, but if I personally am running 2 minutes late or a plan gets cancelled. oh boy do I get myself into a flap. However, on good days where I am able to let go and let the universe do its thing, wow do I see the results! I am happy, I am less stressed. In fact, I appear to manifest more and more when I simply let go of that incessant need to control everything in my space, which brings me so much abundance in a multitude of ways. So, if you are like me, why not empower yourself today by letting go of worries or things that no longer serve you – it works, I promise!
4) You are busy seeing the negative in others
There is a saying that we often pick on and pick out the flaws in other people that we don’t like within ourselves, and honestly there is some truth in that saying. That does not mean to say that every thing we witness is a reflection of ourselves, some people on this planet are just utter (insert whatever word or adjective you would like here – you know the people) and that does not reflect who we are. Not all of us are killers or psychopaths. However, it is the little nitty gritty everyday flaws like procrastination, untidiness, irritability, lack of pride, too boastful etc, that can quite often annoy us the most when we are also experiencing some level of those same flaws. By working on ourselves, accepting ourselves wholly as we are and empowering our strengths, we may find we are much kinder and accepting of others too.
5) You are seeking external validation
The last observation today is the need for external validation. When we are happy and at peace with who we are, the need for external validation goes right out the window. Sure, it still feels truly magical when someone recognises what we do, or appreciates us, but it isn’t a need. We aren’t living just to please others or seek some sort of approval, we are living our happy lives because we want to be happy and if others join along on the ride then, then that is amazing. However, if you begin to start doing things or thinking in such a way that needs someone else to affirm you are doing something right or doing things just to seek that external validation, we are not truly aligning to our inner selves. We have begun to start living for someone else. At this point, I want you to gather all your courage and magic inside and take back your power.
So there you have it, just 5 signs to be aware of which may highlight it is time for a little empowerment boost. If you are already feeling one or more of these things, why not contact me and let me know and we can find a way together to help you get out of a rut!
Lots of love and magic,
