How to Empower Yourself

• Allow yourself to renew your perception and look beyond the superficialities of what and who influences you. You are no longer a scapegoat!
• Surround yourself with people who do not see you as a victim, their belief in your recovery will be a formidable ally, draw power from them when you need additional courage.
• Re-asses what you were exposed to in the past and identify your role, learn the lessons then release any guilt and regret. Start over with clarity and objectivity.
• Attend to your own essential needs, before those of others. You must heal yourself before you can rescue anyone else! Relax, breathe and be still, find your own wisdom. However, remember not to sever connection with those with whom you have a healthy reciprocal relationship!
• Remove yourself from people and situations, which drain your power and confuse you. If you have any paraphernalia or objects, which remind you of destructive patterns or trigger anxiety: throw them away! Mental residues of unpleasant memories get stuck in your thinking and slow your progress.
• Simplify your obligations and downsize your work-load
• Avoid over stimulating events and large gatherings of loud and raucous crowds.
• Create a peaceful sanctuary for yourself so you can clarify what is enjoyable to you. Meditate on what it is that your soul yearns for.
• Fuse your mind with your body by taking a stroll in nature while you remember your purpose and intention
• Listen to good advice while taking time to reach decisions and not rush into compulsion to fit in.
• Keep your promises and always speak the truth so that your mind practices stability and serenity.
• Find a motto or slogan which is personal to you that you can repeat to yourself when you need encouragement e.g. ‘’ I am devoted to transforming my life aid and building my confidence because I am worth excellence’’
