Recognizing Your Personal Power

Written By Colēgia

Every now and then we need a reminder of all the things we've done since it can give us the courage needed to keep going strong. Empowerment is a big thing in life and it can be incredibly motivating to feel that during your daily routine. A lot of it is based on our actions and mindset which are both in our control. Today we want to talk about some of the ways we can recognize our personal power so we can make the most of our lives.

Excelling Academically

Perhaps one of the most apparent things we can do when we put our mind to it is thriving in our school. Many students might be content with just going through the motions with class and assignments but the reality is that we get what we give in school. While we can't always give our 100% for everything, it's important to manage it in a method that helps us work towards sustainability. A good example of that is being mindful of your mental state during and after school. Part of the process is making sure that we're okay so that we can put out our best work in school. This includes setting healthy limits with studying so that we're also participating in our social groups as well. Excelling academically means doing what’s within our power to give a concentrated effort while still balancing the other areas of our lives so that we can be fulfilled.

Understand The Influence You Have

We have a lot more influence than we might expect and it can be empowering once we recognize it. Social skills fall under this since charisma can often help us in a manner that makes others more likely to listen to us. Persuasive speech is a great example of this since it’s part of expressing ourselves more efficiently. Sometimes we can't do things without someone else's help and we need to cooperate in order to do so. Letting others know that we're on the same team makes it much easier to work towards shared goals. People ultimately want to feel a sense of trust with others since we're stronger with a good community to back each other up.

Use Your Personal Power Responsibly

It takes courage to do the right thing. We all have power in our lives and it's so important to use it in a manner that is both responsible and in a way that allows us to make the world a better place. If we see someone in need and we have the resources to help, it's worth taking the time to do that. If they need a shoulder to lean on or just need to be heard, we have the capacity to do so. Empowerment allows for opportunity and it's up to us to seize the day. We're capable of greatness and we can make life better through a combination of self-care and positive action.
