Many of us want to stand in our own power.  We set the intention, throw it out to the Universe and then sit and wait for the opportunities to practice standing in our power to show up.

Instead of waiting for life to happen, let’s take a look at 7 different ways that you can practice this important skill right away.

• Meditate.

Meditation is very important for us to bring awareness into our lives.  It also allows us to become clear and be in the present moment.  When we meditate on a regular basis we become clear on what we want and don’t want in our lives.  Meditation allows us to build self-awareness and to take a look at emotional triggers and the reasons behind them.

• De-clutter

By letting go of physical items we shift energy in our surroundings.  We move and lighten our space which allows us to feel lighter.  Take 15 minutes every day to tidy up, or move out old items that no longer serve us.  When we do this, we tend to feel more creative and uplifted.  This allows us to be empowered and motivated to start new projects or finish lingering ones.

• Sit In Gratitude

Take stock of all the good things in your life.  Make a list of what your are thankful for and sit in the feeling of gratitude and joy.  This creates a positive and motivated energy within us.  We can create great things from this state!

• Speak Your Truth

I feel that this is one of the more important points to help us stand in our own power.  By voicing how we feel and living in our authenticity, we are really living in a powerful state.  It may take time to get really good at this, but this is a skill that is worth investing time and energy in.

• Think Of A Fear And Take Action

Fears are something we all have.  Take time to look at and conquer them, one at a time.  Break them down into baby steps if they feel overwhelming to you.  Feeling more powerful is an automatic side effect of overcoming our fears.  You can do it!

• Write Things Down

This isn’t about lists.  Yes, lists are important and recommended.  However, we can also, write down our accomplishments, insights (good or bad), and feelings.  By writing down our goals, strengths, and dreams make them more real and help us to move towards them.  Take a few minutes everyday to write on lined paper with a blue pen.  You will be glad you did!

• Exercise

Take some time everyday to improve your physical strength.  This will help you to feel more powerful and empowered.  Whether it is cardio, weights, yoga, swimming, bike riding or walking…get moving.  You will release endorphin’s and build muscles, which helps with oxygen and energy levels.  Get out in nature, connect and allow yourself to be in the moment while you exercise.

By doing one or many of these tips on a daily basis, you will be well on your way to feel more empowered within your life.  Embrace and stand in your power.  Live authentically and passionately.  Take stock and create movement by recognizing your successes.  Conquer your fears.
