"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." –
Eleanor Roosevelt
Empowerment is the process of encouraging an individual to think, behave, manage, take action and
make decisions. It is the practice of sharing authority, information and rewards with others.
Empowerment should enable people to take initiative, make decisions and solve problems.
Sometimes, we rely on others to help us, sometimes we just need to be courageous and help
ourselves. It’s easier to say this than just to do it.
Self-empowerment means making a conscious decision to take charge of your life. It involves
making positive choices, taking action to advance, and being confident to make and execute
decisions. Self-empowered people understand their strengths and weaknesses and are
motivated to learn and achieve. People who consciously decide to take control of their lives
are often happier, more fulfilled, and more satisfied in their lives.
Few tips for being self-empowered:
➢ Create Positive Attitude : Cultivate a positive attitude and outlook by evaluating
your strengths and weaknesses, pursuing your passions, and trusting your ability.
➢ Set Achievable Goals : Measurable, achievable goals are an important component of
self-empowerment, and understanding how to set them can help you feel good about
your achievements.
➢ Have Positive People around You : Surrounding yourself with like-minded,
motivated people can help you feel empowered to achieve your goals. Experiencing
their positivity can improve your mental well-being, minimize your negativity, and
empower you to follow your dreams.
➢ Follow Self-Care : Self-care includes any activity that you do for yourself to feel
happy and healthy. It can include everything from eating right and exercising to
treating yourself to a spa treatment. Scheduling time to relax and rejuvenate will make
you more productive. Additionally, being kind to yourself can help you be confident.
➢ Use Positive Self-Talk : To live a self-empowered life, practice self-affirmations.
The use of affirmations is just one way to make positive changes to your life.
➢ Be Assertive : People who strive towards personal empowerment must be
comfortable expressing their thoughts, ideas, and needs.
➢ Create an Action List : Empowered people take action and are comfortable learning
and developing their abilities. They also understand that success does not come
overnight but is a culmination of decisions and actions. True personal empowerment
requires you to set meaningful goals to identify what you want from life, and then
take action to achieve those goals and have more impact over the world around you.
