Do you feel Empowered after the Holidays?
“The process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights” Basic definition.
Do you live by your decisions or are you negatively influenced by what other people choose for you?
During the Holidays many of us are around family that may or may not support our life choices.
Do you feel empowered or confident around your choices or do you end up defending them?
Are you negatively influenced by what others tell you or are you one to decide for yourself rationally?
The first and natural response for most of us tends to be reactive- resulting in anger or blame. These are natural emotions.
The emotion of anger or fear due to- disappointments- financial worries can keep one feeling unempowered.
There are solutions to every situation that we are confronted with – multiple choices even over which emotions control us.
