First off, what is Empowerment to you? it can be little things such as going and doing something by yourself, for yourself.
“ Empowerment is the process of becoming stronger and
more confident, in controlling your own life whilst claiming your rights. ”
Ways Of Empowering Yourself
Self-empowerment is just as important as empowering others and before you can help others, you have to help yourself. To feel more empowered, you can add a few simple things into your daily life and feel the effects almost immediately, such as having a positive attitude, don't allow yourself to have the negative thoughts you may usually have and start incorporating a positive attitude into your lifestyle. Set yourself achievable goals, don't go crazy and set your goal to fly to the moon, but have goals that you can take steps daily which will allow you to get closer to achieving them. Allow yourself time to reach your gaols, it does not have to be something that happens instantly, it can be something that you aim to reach in 6 months, but if it takes longer or not as long as that, it will not be a problem. Also, surround yourself with positive people, people who want similar things, can enable you to grow together. Having a positive surrounding is so important because if you're surrounded by negative people, your entire view will become negative as well, rather than positive.
Empowerment is subjective and individual to each person so it does not have a one way fix that works for everybody. It is always important to remember that individuality is just as important and you are free to be who you want to be. The importance of empowerment is more prominent now than ever because we are having more and more inequalities around the world highlighted daily. Empowerment is for everyone, and it is so important that we teach everyone around us how to stand up for themselves and what they believe in regardless of others.
