What is Empowerment? It comes to no surprise that empowerment is a pretty integral part of Empowered Magic, and that is because I believe that empowerment is within us all: a magical element to each and every one of us that reminds us that we have the power to be the best versions of ourselves we possibly can be. So with that in mind, I would like to share with you a little excerpt of my I Am Empowered Workbook that shares my view of Empowerment, and what it means to be empowered.
Definition of Empowerment
“The process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights.” – Oxford
“The process of gaining freedom and power to do what you want or to control what happens to you” – Cambridge
“Having the knowledge, confidence, means, or ability to do things or make decisions for oneself” – Merriam-Webster
My definition
Empowerment doesn’t come from the external validation of others. Nor does it come from perfect grades, money, nice homes and cars…
Pure, authentic empowerment is a journey and state of being that can only come from within you. It is your proclamation to the universe that you are now ready to take back control and power over your life. Your choice to leave whatever doesn’t serve you behind, so you can create a future you have longed for. It is breaking the mould of expectation, so you can become who you have always wanted to be. THAT IS BEING EMPOWERED.
You are Empowered
So, no matter what definition you read, when it comes to this empowering state of being there are some key themes that are central throughout. Empowerment is: your strength, your confidence, your power and control, your ability and knowledge… But more importantly, empowerment and feeling empowered is doing, thinking and believing it BY YOU, FOR YOU.
And today, you have started this journey to releasing that inner magic to reach your highest potential.
