There’s a clear distinct feeling of joy that feels purer than an ice cream popsicle on a hot summer day. It’s refreshing and you taste that sweetness that lasts for a week.
Powerlessness is a draining feeling. It buries deep in your skin, and flares up. Usually it can be triggered by specific people or situations. When it happens, and you find yourself burning, and getting hot, here are three easy triggers you can take.
- Look inward at what is within your own control. Maybe it’s as simple as the clothes you get to choose to wear, or it’s a connection with a friend where you can share openly without being judged, or it’s a trust that you’ll be what’s underneath no matter what.
- Stand taller. There’s scientific proof that people that take the alpha pose. It’s why you see books written about your length, and your height. Clue into your left or right big toes. Fan down those toes until your pinky. Reach back up and take solitude in your body
- Turn around, and do something nice for someone else. You won’t feel better about your situation, you’ll likely still be angry, and you will likely still have push back, but you will have instantly shaken off the coat of powerlessness because you empowered someone else.
How do you empower, and more importantly – why.
- Think about the gifts of someone else, and comment on them.
- Know that you don’t know everything, and connect with someone, learn something new. You enable the voice of someone else to shine, and you allow yourself to be open to receive. It’s a responsive situation.
- Coach, support, or open up the space for communication.
