Personal Empowerment: How to Overcome your Insecurities

I know. So many things going on. But today for our podcasts. We have a great topic about personal empowerment. It’s about walking in the power of who you are, the power that God has given you as an individual to walk in love.

How do I walk in empowerment and not be a victim in life?
What does that look like practically in life to have internal empowerment?

1. Have Power over yourself

  • If the way that other people acting isn’t even, it might trigger me, but I know how to self-regulate, I know how to be present, to communicate acceptance and approval.
  • Triggering is this key that helps us understand that I need to step into personal empowerment; to be a powerful person, instead of being a victim.
  • A big thing about growing personally, and walking in personal empowerment, is being aware of what triggers what is going on internally, instead of just living on autopilot.

2. Move out from the feeling of Insecurity

What is insecurity and where does it come from?

  • Every person’s insecurity comes from the lack of security.
  • The word security is secure. By adding “in” makes the word insecurity. It is the awareness of the lack of security that makes someone feel.
  • It’s like the awareness of the lack of security.
  • Insecurity is a feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about oneself, or the lack of competence specifically in yourself..
  • Insecurity is a byproduct of fear.
  • Insecurity is an attack on one’s value.

How do we self-regulate to move out from insecurity into an empowered individual and help others from feeling the lack of security?

  • We can be present, powerful, and not overpower someone else.
  • Being personally powerful, to be present, to love, to walk in care and kindness towards others
  • Being aware of your thought process and the feeling of lacking security

3. Avoid unhealthy Comparison.

What are three core things that get us off track?

  • Thoughts that get us off love
  • Thoughts the get us out of value
  • Thoughts that get us out of I am enough.

What is Comparison and will happen if we continue doing unhealthy comparisons?

  • In an unhealthy comparison, the person that is attacking your value is yourself.
  • Comparison destroys your personal value.
  • Comparison done in an unhealthy way is exactly what’s going to happen if you are drinking toxic.
  • Comparison is a house devaluing. If we hang out there, it breaks down and hinders your vision to see your value

How do we get to resolve this?

  • As individuals, we ignore our emotions, because our emotions are trying to tell us things. Emotions are very key, especially the negative ones, because the negative ones simply let you know what you’re missing or what you need.
  • Checking and listening with your emotions.
  • Start thinking about and processing whether there’s some comparison happening.
  • Have personal care by empowering yourself and start speaking courage.
  • The goal is to protect connection.
  • Be aware of your emotions. Emotion is like an alarm and lets you know where you’re going.If you have positive emotions, you’re gonna track happiness, hope, peace, you’re doing great in this space. If you’re experiencing negative emotions, fear, sadness, anger, anxiety,it means we’re going in a wrong and an unhelpful direction.
  • Build value for recognizing your negative emotions. Listening for what it needs.
  • Connect with yourself and acknowledge those feelings, listen and give what it truly needs.
