How about starting in baby steps? Do one thing different! Anything at all for that matter. Anything to break pattern. For example, as soon as I realized what I was doing, I turned around got back in car and got out again. I walked around to other side, opened opposite side door, with opposite hand. It woke me up! All way to point that I did something different with every client and with every conversation, I had that day. From then on, I try to vary my entry as much as possible. Pretty soon I'll have to be walking in on my hands.

So think about your own life. Where are you stuck? And then find out when you are stuck? I was stuck right before I approached door. Go back to point right before you are stuck and do something different. Go some place new all together.

And be creative!

For example, Walter is a man who has tremendous power over others but no personal power. Walter has made millions as president of a large investment company. He has a lovely wife, three grown children, and two beautiful homes. Yet Walter is often anxious. He worries about losing his money. He is easily triggered into anger when things don’t go his way and people don’t behave in way he wants. Because his heart is not open, he is a lonely man.

Walter operates totally out of his ego self, believing that having control through anger and money will bring him happiness and safety he seeks. Yet he has achieved everything he believed would bring him happiness and safety and what he feels most of time is anxious and lonely. Walter is empty inside. He has no sense of his true Self, no sense of beauty within him, no sense of his lovability and intrinsic worth. His life is based on externals rather then on spiritual values of love, compassion, honesty and kindness.

Personal power comes from embracing spiritual values rather than just earthly values. It comes from making love, kindness and compassion – toward oneself and others – more important than power over others. It comes from doing inner work necessary to allow soul to have dominion over body, rather than allowing animal instincts of fight or flight – instincts of body – to have dominion over our choices. When soul has dominion over body, you have power to manifest your dreams, to stay centered in face of attack, to remain loving in face of fear. When soul has dominion over body, you have tremendous personal power.
