Breakdown

1. The Origins of Giving Away Power

• From childhood, we are often conditioned to suppress our inner knowing.
• Examples include being told to hug or kiss relatives when we didn’t want to.
• Over time, this pattern extends to school, work, and other areas, leaving us disconnected from our inner authority.

2. The Social Contract and Energy Exchange

• Giving energy to others is a natural part of human interaction, but it should not come at the expense of our integrity.
• Healthy energy exchange begins with recognizing and honoring our true desires and needs.
• Examples of power leakage include blindly following trends, letting others make decisions, avoiding civic engagement, or staying silent in uncomfortable situations.

3. Avoiding Aggression as a Reaction

• Holding onto power doesn’t mean becoming aggressive; aggression stems from fear.
• True empowerment is grounded in inner balance and clarity.

4. Building a Relationship with Your Power

• Begin by listening to your inner voice and acting on its guidance.
• Recognize that you don’t always have to comply with external expectations or trends.
• Confidence and balance are key to reclaiming and maintaining your power.

5. The Path to Authentic Living

• Trusting your voice allows you to live authentically and make aligned decisions.
• Balance ensures that power is used constructively, fostering self-respect and mutual respect.
