Types of Empowements And Method to Empower The Self

Empowerment comes in two forms, external and internal.

External empowerment happens when someone has a good title, position, receives award and recognition or makes an achievement. How many people can be empowered this way in a big corporation? I believe all of us can thrive by empowering ourselves and each other. We all have so much potential within us but we put many barriers in front of us.

Internal empowerment is about believing in, accepting, and loving yourself the way you are and having the strength to ask others for help when you need it.

Everyone needs empowerment, but women tend to need it more than men, due to unique experiences, like antenatal/prenatal depression, postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, and menopause.  There should be no competition between men and women; rather we complete each other. Gender diversity issues can be resolved if we join forces at all the levels and engage everyone in the society.

Please listen to me speaking about the method of empowering the self.

How to unleash the power of the mind:

 

First of all, to unleash the tremendous potential of mind, we need to understand –What is the mind?

The brain is physical and a doctor can operate on it but the mind is metaphysical.

You can define mind as TEAM

T- Thoughts

E-Emotions

A-Attitude

M-Memory

When we need to make a decision, we think and sometimes overthink. Thoughts are originated in the mind. You might have noticed- generally there are two inner voices going on in your head. One voice says – do it. While other says- do not. Now intellect will choose or make a decision based on the louder/dominating voice.

We all know that we want to hear our positive inner voices, which will make us feel good. Now question is- how to filter out negative inner voices? It takes a little attention and some hard work but it is doable. This is what I do to make my positive inner voice louder.

·      I start my day with positive thoughts like I am worthy, I have abundance, I am wonderful and I accept myself.

·      Throughout the day, I take short breaks and do a one-minute meditation.

·      I take a one-minute break after every hour to check my inner world. If something is bothering me, I clear my mind by doing positive thinking.

·      If nothing is bothering me, I do positive affirmation-I value myself; I believe in myself, I am a peaceful being.

·      Before going to bed, I do pay my gratitude to the supreme father for blessing me everyday.

In my next post I will write  – Where are the negative voices coming from?
