Owning (and using) our POWER

Many times in our lives we are presented with circumstances that feel totally out of our control. Some of these circumstances begin when we are children, and can create deep, strongly-held belief patterns within us which sometimes lead us to seek out those that reinforce this belief system. 

Some of my clients have been in situations that would be labeled "abusive" for most of their lives. They have been conditioned to think that is how they "deserve" to be treated because that is all they have ever known. But here's the thing. When we really, truly understand that we can choose what we let things mean, nothing can stop us. We stop apologizing. We stop feeling sorry for ourselves. We create a new life for ourselves that our former selves wouldn't even recognize. 

There is no limit to what we can achieve when we decide to change our own story and show up as who we WANT to be rather than who we have been conditioned to think we are.  It begins in our thoughts. We stop believing the painful story we are telling ourselves, and write a new one. What do you want to believe? What do you want to believe about yourself? You can decide TODAY that you are exactly as you should be. We can always grow, improve, and evolve, but what would change for you if you believed that you are exactly where you are supposed to be in life right this very second? This thought for me has been life-changing. Nothing has gone wrong. I am on the path that is bringing me the most growth. All is well. So what thought feels like freedom to you?
