Taking Back Your Personal Power

<p><strong><em>"Being responsible for our own lives... our behaviour is a function of our decisions, not our conditions". – Steven Covey</em></strong></p> <p>Often, we resign ourselves to the fact that we live in a world where so much is out of our control like global pandemics and external circumstances and the limitations they place on our actions. The world can begin to feel heavy.</p> <p>However, when we bring our attention back to focusing on what we can control, we are able to increase, expand and grow our personal power.</p> <p>In this episode, I explore;</p> <ul> <li>Your circle of influence (the things we can control)</li> <li>The circle of concern (the external things we cannot control)</li> <li>Shifting and managing energy, focus and influence</li> <li>Expanding your comfort zone and the reason we feel comfortable playing small</li> <li>Taking back your power</li> </ul> <p>You’ll leave this bite-sized pep talk today with the reminder that our lives are completely up to us. Sure, negative things can happen to us and around us, however it is our choice as to how we respond to those factors. It is our decision what we do about it. That is within our control and that is where the magic happens.</p> <p>Don’t forget to download my free Setting your North Star values and purpose workbook to help you start designing your unique and desired life.
