Ways to Embrace Your Power

Let's be real: you're already powerful. You've survived awkward middle school dances, deciphered the mysteries of car insurance, and managed to update your tech without throwing your laptop out the window (most of the time). But sometimes, owning that power takes a little reminder—because life can dull our shine faster than an unsaved Word doc during a power outage.

Here's your guide to fully stepping into your power, minus the corporate buzzwords and extra fluff.

1. Remember Your Wins (Big or Small)

Start by celebrating the everyday victories. Did you finally unsubscribe from that newsletter you've been ignoring for six months? Boom, boss move. Reflecting on wins, no matter how tiny, builds your confidence.

📓Try this: Keep a "Power Journal" where you jot down one thing you crushed every day. Over time, you'll have a highlight reel of your own awesomeness.

2. Set Boundaries Like a Pro

Power isn't just about saying "yes." Sometimes, it's about hitting them with a polite but firm "nope." Saying no doesn't make you difficult—it makes you strategic.

🎯Pro-tip: Practice saying, "Thanks, but I can't commit to that right now." You'll feel like a CEO of your own time (because you are).

3. Invest in Yourself

Whether it's signing up for that class you've been eyeing or finally upgrading your workspace, investing in yourself isn't selfish—it's powerful. Think of it as putting premium fuel in your car. You'll run better, go farther, and stop needing so many coffee breaks (okay, maybe fewer coffee breaks).

💡Idea: Look into a new skill that excites you—photography, pottery, or even learning a simple skill. Growth = power.

4. Surround Yourself with Your Power Crew

The people you hang out with matter. Surround yourself with hype friends who cheer you on, call you out (lovingly), and remind you how awesome you are when you forget.

🌟Reminder: If your crew includes people who drain your energy, it might be time for a little friendship audit.

5. Wear Your Power

Sometimes, power comes from a little extra sparkle. That's where intentional accessories or clothes come in. A necklace with a hidden mantra? A bold pair of earrings? These things remind you to own it, even when you're running on caffeine and vibes.

👗Style Tip: Check out pieces that symbolize empowerment (ahem, like the EMPOWER Morse Code Collection). Wear your power, literally.

6. Own Your Story

Your story—messy parts and all—is what makes you, you. Owning it means you get to write the next chapter, and that's pretty damn powerful.

📖Reflection: What part of your story are you most proud of? Use that to fuel your next steps.

7. Laugh at Yourself

There's strength in not taking life (or yourself) too seriously. Spilled coffee on your shirt? Power move: laugh, grab a Tide pen, and keep rocking.

😂Example: Remember, Beyoncé probably trips in her heels sometimes too.

Wrap-Up: Embrace the Power Within

You've got the tools, the mindset, and the humor to embrace your power fully. The world doesn't need a "new you" this year—it just needs the real you, powered up and owning it.
