In working to increase your Personal Power, it’s important to stay in NOW moment. There is no other power. “It is not in past,” says Fenn, “so there is no point dwelling on past mistakes. It is not in future, there is no future yet. To have personal power, you must be in present moment.”
I suggest to my clients working in this area, who want to move from victim position, that they use affirmations, starting with accepting they are a conscious creator of their own world. In EQ terms, it’s called defining yourself from inside out. (I AM creative. I AM a coach.) Not from outside in, “People think I’m…” or “I do accounting,” or, even worse, “I have a home in Bahamas.”
End your affirmations, as you proceed to move forward with: “I got myself into this situation. Now I will get myself out.”
“If you got this stuff to happen,” says Fenn, “just get conscious and you can use same energy to create something you consciously want.”
Powerful stuff!
