When do you give your power away?

What are the sources of power within you and when are you most aware of giving your source of power away? We all have instances in our lives when we are “triggered” and the net result is that we give our power away to others. It can be prompted by an interaction with a difficult colleague, supervisor, family member or acquaintance. When are you aware of giving your power away?

Give yourself the gift of becoming aware of those instances when you are giving your power away by reflecting on the triggers. If you select a few instances when you are aware of being silent, not giving a voice to your wishes, or letting someone else dominate the agenda, ask yourself, what was happening to you internally at the time. What was the message you were giving yourself? The self awareness that you offer through this reflection may help you create space for honoring both you and the other person in your next conversation.
