DAY ONE
Welcome! Thank you for joining this seven day exploration for finding and feeding your centred empowerment of self...
How Do You Perceive Yourself?
The first aspect of this course is to look at the foundation of what you are currently identifying yourself with - as this is the present embodiment you are experiencing in your everyday life and when you dive in and become fully aware of what habitual pattern of identification you are running then the unfolding of the true empowerment begins to emerge as you begin to choose differently.
A quick example: I was diagnosed at 19 with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and then anxiety which took me down the path of fully identifying myself with these aspects - yes they were very real and true in my experience but I allowed my mind and therefore my embodiment to fully be overwhelmed by the ‘identity’ - I saw myself as this identity and unknowingly kept feeding the beast of disempowerment!
This is quite a physical example but it doesn’t have to be to take hold of your perception of self. It could be all manner of beliefs formed from experience that create perceptions of ‘I’m not socially confident’ / ‘I am not worthy’ / ‘I feel disempowered in this situation’ / ‘I feel overwhelmed’ / ‘I feel...(fill in the blank)’
When we see ourselves as a certain identity we then reflect this as our lived experience which then affects our whole life experience - we might feel confident and strong in some parts of self identity but then an habitual pattern derails that grounded surety of self keeping the sabotage alive and well!
Ponder and identify the following in a journal...

Reflective Prompts for You Today:
How do you view or identify with yourself?
What do you identify within yourself as disempowering?
///
Embodiement Exercise for You Today:
Play with the shapes of your perceived disempowerment - what is your body expression of the disempowerment? You might have a few habitual shapes or movements that partner the thoughts and feelings. Note down what you notice you do or draw the shape if you are feeling artistic! We shall be exploring this aspect a little deeper tomorrow...

Reminder! No judgment on the self and pause for a big loving embracing hug to end Day One.
