We spend so much of our lives trying to win approval from others, but it’s time to awaken to your true self and take control of your life. You’ve been putting everyone else on a pedestal, but now it’s your turn. What have you gained from people-pleasing?
Nothing.
Instead, it’s drained your energy, health, and joy. I’m not saying this to tear you down but to help you awaken to the truth—you’ve been giving your power away. I’ve been there too, stuck in anxiety and unfulfilled dreams, only to realize I was letting others run my life.
Today, that changes. Today, you take your power back.
You were always meant to lead your life. The moment you awaken to your potential, you’ll understand that no one can live it better than you. I know this can be hard, but I promise, it’s worth it. You’ve been through enough damage; now it’s time to choose you.
So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s start this journey toward reclaiming your power and peace. Your awakening begins now.
Self-Awareness make you stronger
It’s okay to feel like you’ve lost control at some point. I want you to be kind to yourself as you become aware of what holds you back. What makes you feel small? What moments stole your confidence? It’s time to face them with compassion, not fear.
Your cocoon may feel safe, but it’s not letting you grow. The world needs to see the real you! You’re strong, and reclaiming your power begins with a decision.
Start noticing your life. Every emotion, challenge, and moment matters. Be present. Awaken to your brilliance, dear—because you’ve got so much to give.
If you’re unsure where to start, shadow work can help. Dive into your past and heal those deep wounds by acknowledging them. Write down your feelings, and slowly, you’ll notice the grip they once had on you weakening.
You’re meant for more, and I believe in you! Keep exploring, and let the journey to self-awareness guide you to the power that was always yours.
Spend time with your problems
When it comes to solving problems, the biggest mistake we often make is rushing to conclusions without fully understanding the issue at hand. This can lead to decisions we regret or cause us unnecessary pain in the future. Here’s a clearer, friendlier breakdown of how you can spend time with your problems and come out stronger:
1. Take a Step Back and Reflect
When a problem arises, it’s tempting to jump to a solution right away. But like Albert Einstein said, “If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” The more time you spend truly understanding the issue, the better your decision-making will be.
Ask yourself questions like:
- What’s the real root of this problem?
- What’s causing it, and how does it affect me?
- Am I reacting to the situation or something deeper within me?
By reflecting, you give yourself the space to uncover deeper causes, allowing you to act with clarity rather than emotion.
2. Get to Know Your Triggers
Sometimes, we react strongly to small things because they hit an old wound. If someone says something hurtful, it may not be the words themselves, but the feelings they stir up inside you. Understanding why certain things trigger you can help you see the problem more clearly and react from a place of strength rather than hurt.
Instead of cutting someone out of your life for an unkind comment, ask yourself:
- Why did their words trigger me so much?
- Is this an unresolved issue from my past?
- Is this problem something they caused, or did they just touch on something already sensitive in me?
3. Face the Problem Head-On
Avoiding your problems doesn’t make them go away. In fact, it only gives them more power over you. The sooner you face them, the better. Pretending they don’t exist or brushing them aside only leads to bigger problems down the road.
Spending time with your problems means:
- Understanding how they affect your daily life.
- Looking at them without judgment or fear.
- Taking your time before jumping into action.
Facing your problems also helps you grow. Each time you work through an issue, you gain wisdom and resilience, making future challenges easier to handle.
4. Don’t Make Rash Decisions
When we don’t fully understand a problem, we tend to make snap decisions that can backfire. For example, cutting off a friend after an argument may seem like a solution in the heat of the moment, but in hindsight, you might realize it was an overreaction.
Before making any big moves, ask yourself:
- Am I making this decision out of emotion or logic?
- Will I regret this later on?
- How would I feel about this decision tomorrow, next week, or a year from now?
Making decisions thoughtfully ensures that you won’t have to deal with regrets later on. The goal is to handle the problem in a way that leaves you at peace.
5. Find the Lesson
Every problem offers an opportunity for growth. Whether it’s learning to manage your emotions better, improving your communication, or understanding your boundaries, there’s always something to take away from each challenge.
Ask yourself:
- What can I learn from this situation?
- How can I grow from this experience?
- What can I do differently next time?
Finding the lesson in each problem helps you build inner strength and wisdom, making future issues easier to handle.
6. Surround Yourself with Support
You don’t have to face your problems alone. Talking to trusted friends, mentors, or even professionals can help you see your situation from a fresh perspective. Sometimes, just sharing your thoughts out loud can give you the clarity you need.
7. Be Patient with Yourself
Solving problems takes time. Don’t rush yourself or expect everything to be perfect immediately. Give yourself grace, and remember that every step forward—no matter how small—is progress.
Find what is poisoning your power
What makes you feel powerless? When do you feel the worst?
Knowing your enemies may help you understand your situation better and push you to avoid them. If you are clueless to what is hurting you and draining your energy you won’t know where to strike.
It would feel like being in war without knowing who is your friend and who is your enemy. This my dear would make this process so much harder.
You have to pay attention to your feelings and energy. Don’t worry, we will do this together.
Here is how:
Meditate to notice Your Emotions
Meditation can be a transformative tool for finding inner peace and connecting with your deepest emotions. The key to this process is focus, and although it’s challenging, that’s exactly why it’s so powerful. It teaches you to remain calm and aware of how you’re feeling, even when life throws challenges your way.
Through regular meditation, you’ll begin to notice when something disrupts your calm, helping you become more self-aware and in control.
To begin, try starting with a guided meditation to ease into the practice. It’s a great first step! Here is where I started mine:
Present – Guided Meditation
It’s a paid app for iPhone, it gives you 10 days for free. If you are a beginner this is the best place I have seen so far.
After the 10th day, you will start to notice a huge difference in how you feel and what you see.
You can continue your journey with other apps or websites that provide free meditation, this way you will be ready and have an idea of how it feels like to meditate.
Exercise
I get that this might sound unusual, but while meditation helps bring clarity to your thoughts and emotions, exercise connects you deeply with your body. You start feeling the sensations—whether it’s how your clothes fit or the energy in the room. These two practices, when combined, can awaken your awareness in powerful ways.
By knowing what drains your energy, you:
- Avoid what weakens you.
- Strengthen your senses.
- Become more mindful.
- Build inner and physical strength.
- Awaken your full power, seeing it in action.
Meditation and exercise are the perfect combo to regain control over your life.
