Personal Power - now is the time

Do you ever feel that life is happening to you, rather than you making life happen?  If so, now's the time to change this, and regain your personal power.

How to regain your personal power?  Simply decide that's what you want to do, and take action right now!  One step is all you need to give you a sense of progress - and that small step is the decision to make changes.  To make changes in your life, you need to make changes in your life.

If youi're not sure how to make this decision, simply look at what it is costing you to stay the same.  What are you missing out on?  How much frustration and dissatisfaction are you experiencing at the moment?  How much extra energy is it taking you to struggle on, with no sense of progress?

At the same time, get really clear on what changes you're going to make.  How is life going to be different for you?  Which aspects of your life are most urgently demanding attention?

Once you've decided where to focus initially, decide what type of action will make a difference.  The first step doesn't have to be huge, in fact it's much better if it's a small step so that it's easy, effortless and yet gives you a sense of progress.

For example, suppose you've been working long hours, money is tight, you come home exhausted every day and don't enjoy being with your family because you're so tired.  No way to live, and yet you can't seem to find a way out?  Firstly, look at what it's costing you and your family.  Is your long-term health suffering?  Are your family suffering and missing out from not having the best of you?

Make the decision now that you're going to make changes.  How would you like it to be?  Talk to your family - an open discussion about it will help to strengthen the communication and they may have ideas you haven't thought of!  Create a picture and imagine how it would be in an ideal world - and then work out just one small step you could take to move closer towards this reality.  Put this step in place and notice the improvements that happen immediately.  Then work on the next step, and so on.

Nobody climbs a mountain with a giant leap - but lots of small steps one after the other will get you to the top more easily than you could have imagined.  Use your personal power now, and see how effortlessly you progress forwards towards your destination.
