Reclaim your personal power

Your sense of personal power hinges on your self-worth and whether you believe your life is at the mercy of others. Your personal power is also affected by fear-based beliefs, how you view yourself, and whether you permit emotion and drama to control you.

To reclaim your personal power, its helpful to review and reframe life experiences. If you are truly honest, you will admit occasions where your reactions stem from pride, personal importance or, your refusal to take responsibility for your actions. Denial drains power.

Your self-awareness grows as you evolve to stop explaining, rationalizing, defending or justifying situations and choices. Such thought processes drain your energy. As you move to the mental place where you no longer compare and judge, you stop viewing opposites. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, prove you're right or wrong, or feel superior or inferior.  New priorities transcend all that.  You move to become more objective. 

And so, why detach? This isn't a way to become aloof or disconnected. Its a process of choosing to no longer permit ego to control your thoughts and perspective. As you learn to step outside your typical thought processes, you strengthen a sense of connection with everything. You gain deeper insight into yourself, dreams and you open your heart.

To be free of attachment means you sense you can deflect words and actions of other people. You begin to sense a mindset that drives them, and recognize it differs from your own. You move beyond conditions, limits, boundaries and self-doubt. You choose with what or whom to connect. You move beyond conditioned interpretations of the mind. Expectations need not drain your personal power. Take it back, whenever you're ready.

Sometimes people think that detaching is to be without feeling. But we can not deny ourselves of the feeling before we detach. To gain the most benefits of detachment, we still have to traverse through pain - detachment comes with the understanding that we made it through and we no longer have to carry the pain.

Alexys, true happiness is described by those people who transcend the duality or opposition of their perception. So long as we permit our mind to focus on judging our experiences as pain or pleasure, appealing or unappealing, we will continue to suffer from our own fear-based beliefs and emotional reactions. Each human being is playing with reality, playing with attachment and detachment, to the point where a decision is made about the outcome of actions. You decide when you learn and are ready to move on.
