The Ultimate Self-Empowerment Tool
Imagine a world where you rely on can yourself for guidance, strength, wisdom, and direction.
Imagine a world where you dream and accomplish those dreams, where you know, ´cause you know, the power to be the person you wish to become is within.
That world is my concept of SELF-EMPOWERMENT, one of the keys to my career and life.
Now, let´s get clear:
Self-Empowerment, like every other subject on the face of the earth, means different things for different people.
For me, the meaning of Self-Empowerment is clear and it comes from my life. It isn´t a theory, a trendy slogan, a way to sell my work.
Nope.
Self-Empowerment is what I´ve been living since I can remember.
From all the precious lessons I´ve learned along the way, in relation to self-empowerment, what it means and how to put it into action in my dance and in my life, here´s the ultimate tool:
Self-Empowerment starts and ends with SELF-LOVE.
Oh, Joana, come on! That´s obvious. Such a cliché. Even I knew that.
Right?
Think twice.
It may sound obvious when you read it, but, believe me, it isn´t.
Most human beings - women and men, dancers and non-dancers alike - have no clue on how to love themselves and how crucial that is in their self-empowerment path. To their life, period.
Self-Love is about:
- Questioning all you´ve been taught about yourself, who you are, and what you deserve. Rewriting your internal script - the things we tell yourself without even noticing you´re doing so.
- Saying YES to you, before anything and anyone else, and not feeling bad/guilty/selfish for doing so. As I often say, we cannot give what we don´t have for ourselves. Fill your cup, first; then, offer from it to others. Only an outpouring cup is able to kill the thirst of the ones who surround us.
- Self-respect and respect for others. The amount of respect I offer other people is proportional to the amount of respect I have towards myself. Start either way - outside yourself or in. But start.
- Being aware that we´re unconditionally valuable; our human condition doesn´t need social proof. Our curriculum, external conquests, relationships, or possessions - material, emotional, or any other sort of possession - do not define us, and our worth. Our character - our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions - does.
- Self-care, daily routines that assure our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Unnegotiable.
- The certainty that the power is within. The word "empowered" comes from in-power. Meaning: the power within. When we stop searching outside ourselves what we can only find within, we realize how powerful we actually are.
The QUESTION is how willing are we to get out of our comfort zone and evolve?
Sometimes, the mud feels like home; the certainty that we don´t deserve to be happy is so deeply ingrained, it seems like losing it equals losing a part of yourself (and it does); sometimes, putting yourself down feels so familiar and safe we may not want to let it go.
But there comes a moment when we get tired of feeling tired. We hit rock bottom. Or we simply, hopefully, decide enough is enough.
And the click happens.
Not by an external act of magic but through the MAGIC WE CARRIED WITHIN ALL ALONG.
