I’m taking back my power.
At the end of last year, there was a moment when things were so bad that I was forced into a time of rest. I was physically and emotionally drained, and I needed to stop.
I rested. I genuinely rested and restored parts of me that were slowly withering. That led to a shift in my thinking that I’ve only just defined for myself. Those circumstances forced me to take back my power. I didn’t know it then, but I realise that’s what it was now.
Taking back your power means reclaiming your sense of agency, self-worth, and control over your life, especially after a period when external circumstances may have diminished those things.
It’s about setting boundaries instead of people-pleasing. Trusting your inner voice over external validation. Making decisions for yourself without guilt or fear. Recognising your worth without tying it to productivity, appearance, or approval.
It has nothing to do with anyone else and is not about dominating others. It’s about coming home to yourself.
I was such a beautiful home for myself back then. I was welcoming, loving, understanding, caring, supportive, excitable, and so gentle.
If that was birthed out of my subconscious, knowing just what I needed, how much more powerful might I become now that I’m consciously aware of what I can offer myself?
