Empowerment - How to Be a Strong Woman
I believe a strong woman is one who has self belief, she knows and accepts her own unique self and also respects the individuality of others. She is driven by passion and purpose and knows her own unique contribution to the world. She knows what she wants from life and has the knowledge,tools and confidence to make it happen. A strong woman enjoys healthy relationships with others and is equally comfortable being alone. How to we get to that wonderful state?
Know And Understand Yourself
You need to understand that you are a spiritual being, who is residing in your physical body for a while. It's a case of getting a far bigger perspective on who you are and what life is all about. The spiritual part of you has access to universal intelligence, the virtual library of all the knowledge that exists; all the wisdom that you could ever need. If you have this understanding about yourself this will enable you to be strong because you will know that you have a source of power beyond yourself, that you can draw on at any time.
How?
To develop this self-understanding, you can search the internet and your local library for books and resources on spirituality. The movie "The Secret" was what started me on my spiritual journey. I also recommend Louise L. Hay's movie "You Can Heal Your Life."
Love And Nurture Yourself
We are all individuals. We come into this world alone, and we leave this world alone. Although you are here with many others, and loving relationships are part of the joy of this physical existence, you cannot rely on others for your emotional needs to be met. In an ideal world we would be brought up by perfect parents, who would nurture us and fulfill our emotional dependency needs; but we are not.
"As a child I needed a parent's love, nurturing, and emotional maturity to fulfill my emotional dependency needs. As an adult, I still seek to get my emotional dependency needs met, but now I must get my needs met from 'within.' I am a child who has gone from needing a parent's love, to needing God's love; from wanting toys, to wanting inner peace and emotional maturity!"
Unknown
So many people expect their partner, friends, or even their children to meet their emotional needs, but that is not fair on them; they need to care for ourselves.
How?
Give yourself time, put yourself at the top of your list of priorities for a change. Do things that you enjoy. Look after your body. Look after your mind. Get to know your inner self; this can be done through practices such as prayer and meditation.
Be Independent
This point really follows on from the previous one in that we also need to have a healthy independence to be a strong woman. If you are not capable of looking after yourself: running a bank account and household finances, menu planning and shopping, earning your own money etc. you will always be dependent on someone else, and that will cause you to feel weak in that area. A strong woman is totally capable of looking after herself (and her children) but may still choose to share her life with a partner on an equal partnership basis.
How?
Do you need to learn some new skills in order to have the capacity for independence? Find someone to teach you! Life is an ongoing process of learning, change and growth. Just because we're adults, doesn't mean we have nothing to learn!
Be Authentic
A strong woman is true to herself. She knows her own strengths and weaknesses and accepts herself the way she is. She knows that the world requires the whole variety of different skills and characteristics that make up different human beings, and so values every part of herself. She plays to her strengths and does not try to conform to others' expectations of who she is, if that is in conflict with who she really is.
How?
Get to know yourself. Become more reflective and introspective. A really great resource that I found is Carol Tuttle's Energy Profiling system. It helps you to not only understand and accept yourself more, but also understand others.
Follow Your Passion
A strong woman follows her passion and joy, and makes her choices in life based on the things that fill her with joy and excitement. I believe our purpose as human beings on this planet is to be happy and joyful; we are not supposed to be miserable! I also believe that we each have an individual purpose; something that we are uniquely endowed to fulfill, some way of adding to the world that is special to us.
How?
Chris Attwood and Janet Bray Attwood have a fantastic online program called The Passion Test, there's a book too; it will help you discover what your top passions are. If you want to go deeper into purpose, the man to Google is Tim Kelley, his book "True Purpose - 12 Strategies for Discovering the Difference You Are Meant to Make" is a fantastic and practical tool to help you find your purpose.
Know What You Want
In order for you to get what you want, you need to know what you want! The Law of Attraction is a natural law that states that like attracts like. We attract to us the mirror image of what and who we are. We are energetic beings living in an energetic universe.Your thoughts and feelings give you your vibration, which goes out into the universe from your heart and a like vibration is drawn back to you, in time. Therefore you can consciously control your vibration by thinking and feeling the things that you want and feeling gratitude for them. Whatever you feel passion for will be drawn to you, even if it's angry passion!
How?
A good tool for beginning to get a feel for what you really want is the magic wand question. Imagine you had a magic wand that you could wave over your life and make everything perfect; what would your life look like? Write down a detailed description of what you see in your mind's eye. This is a great starting point for becoming a strong woman who knows where she's going.
Nurture Love
Your spiritual self is all love, so whenever you're not practicing love, you're at odds with your true nature and therefore weaken yourself. You need to infuse everything you do with love. You can do this when you understand your own special contribution to the world and bring that into everything you do every day.
How?
When I first learned my purpose I got stressed when I needed to get a part-time job to bring in some money. Through that experience I learned that I can use my gift whatever I am doing; wherever I am I can be who I am and that alone will be a blessing to others. The same is true for you.
You are a strong woman already, you just need to find it within you. xx
