Today you’re being reminded not to fear your own power.

You are a powerful being.

You have the ability to create and destroy within you.

And yet, as natural as this power is, as much as it is an inherent part of your being, you may have been taught to fear your power, and to avoid it altogether.

This can be especially true for women who have traditionally been told they should be caring, loving and nurturing.

The mothers, the caregivers, the compassionate friend, the people who should put other’s before themselves. Who are often taught that as women they’re expected to prioritise the comfort and well-being of others over themselves.

Power can be seen as a dominant force, aggressive in nature, and both of these are generally considered by ‘polite society’ as not becoming of a woman.

And to this I would swear, but instead I will choose to say – what a load of rubbish.

As a woman you have the power to create, whether that’s children, poetry, stories, cakes, art or ideas.

That power to take an idea, a seed, and birth it into the world is incredible.

This is not a power over, or a dominating power.

It is power with.

A power that co-creates, that harnesses the energies that swirl around you and within you.

Yes, this power can be fierce, think of a mumma bear protecting her cubs, or the power of a mother nature.

This power is needed to bring change, to protect that which you care about.

Don’t supress your power, when you do so, you turn it inwards, and all sorts of symptoms can occur because of that.

Embody your power, dance with your power, make friends with your power.

What does it want you to do?

What does it want to co-create with you?

How does it want you to embody it?

Your power is already within you, it’s time for you to embrace it.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel into your inherent power.

              

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to think about your relationship with your power.

What are your experiences with women who you consider to be powerful?

As you were growing up who were the powerful women in the books and films you read and watched?

Did they have power over others, or power with others?

On a scale of 1-10 how powerful do you feel?

What needs to change to increase that number?

Pause, and take a breath. As you open yourself up to your own power.

              

Today’s Affirmation:
