Empowerment and Positivity

So when I say empowerment and positivity, what does that look like for you?

Wow.

I am excited about this because I feel like, you know, I need this, I need a little bit of a reminder of empowering, uh, the importance of empowerment, uh, and, and what it, what it means to feel empowered to do things or make choices or you name it, empowerment's empowerment can help you out.

Uh, so what does that mean? So for me, uh, empowerment and positivity, I feel like are like, um, they go hand in hand.

I don't honestly know which one comes first.

Maybe they happen at the same time.

I don't know that it matters.

I do feel like as I worked on becoming a more positive person and having a more consistent, positive outlook, I feel like I felt more in control of my life.

And that rather than kind of being tossed around by the world, I actually had control over things just in general, life in general, which then, you know, that is for me, that is the, that is empowerment.

Like I feel as if I can control, um, have some sense of control.

I mean, I recognize though, I don't love it.

I recognize I can't control everything.

Uh, but I do think it is that sense of like, I am in control of, I mean, it sounds corny, so please forgive me for saying I am in control of my destiny.

Um, But that's really what it is, is that this life of mine, for the most part, I have the ability to make choices and take action and see things in a certain way that makes me empowered.

And the positivity just helped me to get there.

I think with positivity came confidence and self-assuredness, came an openness to opportunity and learning.

whether that be, you know, learning about myself, learning about the world, just learning new things in general.

I love to

learn.

But I think the positivity just kind of opened my eyes to a bigger picture.

And I find positivity much more energizing than negativity.

So in addition to being able to see opportunities, I felt like then it gave me the kick or the boost, the energy to be able to take them and or really to be able to also handle whatever kind of whatever did come at me that was outside of my control.

I feel like being positive and feeling empowered is then helped me to be able to deal with that.

And so overall, again, I don't know that there's one that comes before the other.

I think maybe I just was aware of positivity first, but it just then becomes a really lovely, energizing, cyclical relationship between positivity and empowerment.
