In this week’s podcast, I am talking about developing your personal power, which is really about how you express your creative energy. Are you open to changing? Are you pushing down your personal power in order to appease other people? I’ll be exploring how having and cultivating personal power is a key element to wellbeing.

Here are the highlights:

• (01:24) Power is a tricky word.
• (01:41) Personal power is about feeling empowered in your own life.
• (02:25) Most of the time they blame others for the things that happen to them.
• (02:43) You know your boundaries and limitations, and you honor them.
• (04:21) You need to stop hiding from yourself.
• (05:01) Turn your victim mentality into something that produces power.
• (06:38) Move on to the things you can change.
• (07:28) Know your values, what you desire and what your goals are.
• (08:22) Self-regulation is about behaving in ways that match your goals and values, which increases your personal power.
• (10:28) Research has shown that most people are kinder to others than they are to themselves.
• (12:45) Treat yourself as you would a good friend and see what happens.
