Nobody really tells you what confidence and power actually mean, or even how it will present itself in you. Especially when it is time to embody the powerful you.
You start to realise it is not about power poses or raising your voice anymore.
It is about being done pretending, playing games or reigning yourself in so others feel comfortable around you.
And as a result
- You will feel like you are abandoning yourself
- You will appear ungrounded or inauthentic to people
- You will look like you’re being a perfectionist
Your mind will go crazy questioning yourself… did I just say that??
And, your body will follow suit, as tension kicks in to scare you off.
A part of you does not want to go there
But as your system starts to stabilise to the new powerful you…
- You will have a newly found self respect for yourself
- You will finally understand what you bring to the table
- You will ask for support from the right sources instead of remaining quiet
- You will realise that not everyone gets access to SEE you
- You co-regulate quickly with people you perceive as being above you, or they co-regulate to you.
- And, finally… You raise your aim in life and relationships.
This is the confidence I talk about.
The one that scares the life out of you. Has you thinking you’re being obnoxious, silly or an ar$ehole, but has your body is saying… finally!
Because you are no longer acting, playing games, but instead you are being honest and truthful.
You are embodying what everyone else was trying to teach you all this time.
The difference is that you are implementing, integrating, and honouring what your body needs in the process.
This work isn’t for everyone.
But it is for a leader like you.
If you have done everything to ‘feel good’ (including fitness, therapy, trauma work, energetic work, etc.) and yet you still feel off.
