Empower Yourself by Breaking the Rules
Breaking the rules can empower you — really. Rules can severely limit your beliefs and purpose in life, keeping you back from expressing emotions and from trying new things. First, we need to define what “rules” mean. Similar to “labels”, they can be something you put on yourself or have allowed someone else to put on you. Either way, you are not defined by either rules OR labels. First, you need to recognize what they are.
Think about the negative things you tell yourself on a daily basis — “Someone said I couldn’t do that,” “I don’t have the brains to succeed,” “Nobody will want to dance with me.” Each of these negative thoughts is derived from a rule you have created that needs to be broken.
These are called Limiting Beliefs — beliefs about ourselves that come from a decision we made, often based on something someone said to us or a “rule” or “label” that we’ve come to believe.
You may have been through one or several painful experiences in your past which has made an impact on your reactions and inner feelings and is keeping you from moving forward with power and a purpose in life.
Dealing with the negatives that are defining you now is the only way to combat the experience and move on successfully with your life. That may mean breaking the rules that have held you back. Removing the labels you have placed on yourself or accepted from others. The empowerment you gain from taking action will do wonders for your mindset.
At some point, you know you’re more than what your negative experiences have made you. You know through self-reflection that blame isn’t a positive emotion and that you can gain back your power with determination and knowledge.
Healing from past traumas can happen, it’s freeing, and more possible than you know. I help women with releasing the negative emotions and beliefs from those traumas.
Engaging in optimism in your life thoughts and trusting yourself to do the right thing is important in the empowering process. Find joy in breaking the rules which have kept you back, made you feel cynical about life, and don’t compare yourself to others.
I also offer several ideas on how to increase joy and gratitude in your life. I choose fast, easy, daily actions that use the theory of compound interest — to accumulate over time. Ask me and I’ll let you know what they are!
Be your own guide when it comes to empowering yourself. Don’t let others dictate what you should and shouldn’t be. Follow your own rules and guidelines for that, always being aware of the consequences and rewards of breaking a rule. Then, you can make an educated decision.
