Embodied Empowerment — Take Yourself & Your Business to the Top!

Written by Maria Connolly. Posted in Dream Big - Start Small, Embodied Leadership, Leadership Skills, Self-Leadership Skills.

Embodied empowerment is often associated with self-development… but have you considered how the principles of embodiment can help entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders make their businesses more successful?

Mastering ourselves leads to mastering our business. But here’s the inside scoop: mastery comes from embodiment — your body instinctively knows how and what to do, without you telling it.

But this in no way comes automatically. It takes practicing a process often until it becomes part of who you are and how you show up. Don’t you agree that if it’s worth having; it’s worth the work?

Predictability is safe. Some say it’s boring. Being spontaneous may be scary or thrilling. Predictability or spontaneity — which makes you feel most alive? Or do you need both?

Part of you wants to, part of you doesn’t — so you turn an opportunity down because it feels safer…but you then regret that decision. Learn why you experience feelings like these and how Parts Integration Techniques can help you create internal harmony and balance so you never miss out on an opportunity again!

Too often we're plagued by self-sabotaging behavior. For instance, you want to lose weight but you keep turning to that carton of chocolate ice cream for comfort. Or you want to be a successful manager, but you rub people the wrong way, or unwittingly create drama so you’re always putting out fires.

Self-sabotaging behavior occurs when different “parts” of your self are conflicted. You want success, but a Part of you doesn’t believe you deserve it. You want to be healthy and fit, but a Part of you self-medicates unhealed emotional wounds with comfort food.

Motivation vs Self-discipline: Don’t Ask, “Which is Better?” Here’s Why You Need Both!

The life you’ll enjoy most is the life you create for yourself. Yes, there’s a trend of people wanting life to be handed to them or thinking the world owes them, but you and I know that attitude doesn’t bring satisfaction or self-fulfillment. We not only need the desire (Motivation) but we need the baby steps forward (Self-discipline) to make life changes happen.

Amazing things happen when we recognize that we’re in the driver’s seat, as Robert Greene noted,

“It is time to reverse this prejudice against conscious effort and to see the powers we gain through practice and discipline as eminently inspiring and even miraculous.”
