1. Be Yourself

Each of us has come into this world with a set of unique gifts: talents, interests, and abilities. It is only when we tap into those gifts and share them with the world that we truly become empowered. Give the world your greatest gift — Be Yourself!

2. Trust Yourself

We each have an inner voice that is there to give us guidance. All we need do is ask and we will be shown our next empowering step. Listen to your inner guidance and learn to trust yourself.

3. Believe in Yourself

When we have doubts about our abilities, we simply need to ask to have the thoughts transformed that are limiting us from being the full expression of our magnificence. This opens the door to personal empowerment.

4. Know Yourself

We often know others better than we know our own self. True empowerment comes from taking the time to examine all aspects of ourselves and then move in the direction of those aspects that bring us joy and fulfillment.

5. Free Yourself

Limiting thoughts keep us in a state of disempowerment. Asking for those thoughts to be transformed results in the freedom and empowerment to achieve all our hopes and dreams.

6. Empower Yourself

Buying into our limitations is the most disempowering thing we can do. Identify each disempowering thought, ask to have it transformed, and step into the magnificence of personal empowerment.

7. Love Yourself

It is impossible to truly love others unless your love yourself — it’s like trying to give from a dry well. Learn to love yourself first, and you can then watch the ripple effect of your love spread, empowering yourself and those around you.

8. Express Yourself

Tapping into your creativity through art, music, dance or writing unleashes a boundless energy that enables you to share your gifts with others in a way that is empowering to you and those around you.

9. Celebrate Yourself

It is important to make time occasionally to celebrate ourselves for the unique gifts and talents we bring to the world. It is through those times of acknowledgement and celebration that we can truly appreciate who we are and step into our empowerment!

10. Be True to Yourself

We may often be asked to follow a path that feels out of alignment with our internal compass. Take time to find the direction that aligns with who you are and feel the sense of empowerment it brings when you are true to yourself.

11. Value Yourself

We place value on gold and silver but often forget that our most precious commodity is found within ourselves. Take time to empower yourself by acknowledging that you are a precious gift to the world that is to be honored and cherished.

12. Envision Yourself

When you find yourself in a situation that is disempowering, take time to envision how you would like the situation to be, feel the empowerment of this new way of being and it will be drawn to you like a magnet.
